Drivers detect traffic signals
more slowly if they are
talking on a cell phone.
This best illustrates the
impact of
SP1-100
Answer:
Selective Attention
SP1-200
If you move your
watchband up your wrist
an inch or so, you will
feel it for only a few
moments. This best
illustrates
SP1-100
Answer:
Sensory Adaptation
SP1-200
Some stroke victims lose the capacity to
perceive motion but retain the capacity
to perceive shapes and colors. Others
lose the capacity to perceive colors but
retain the capacity to perceive
movement and form. These peculiar
visual disabilities best illustrate our
normal capacity for

sense send messages to the
SP2-100
Answer:
Cerebellum

The fact that we recognize
objects as having a
consistent form regardless
of changing viewing
angles illustrates
SP2-200
Answer:
Perceptual
Constancy
SP2-200
People perceive an adult-child pair
as looking more alike when told
they are parent and child. This best
illustrates the impact of
A.Shape constancy
B.Perceptual set
C.Precognition
D.Interposition
SP2-300
Answer
Perceptual Set
SP2-300
The way in which you quickly group
the individual letters in this question
into separate words best illustrates the
which gestalt grouping principle
SP2-400
Answer:
Proximity
SP2-400
Interpreting new sensory
information within the
framework of a past
memory illustrates
SP2-500
Answer:
Top-down processing
SP2-500
The size of the difference
threshold is greater for
heavier objects than for
lighter ones.
This best illustrates
SP3-100
Answer:
Weber’s Law
SP3-100
The central focal point in the
retina where cones are
heavily concentrated is
known as the
SP3-200
Answer: Fovea

The sensory experience
of bending one's knees
or raising one's arms
exemplifies
SP3-300
Answer:
kinesthesis
SP3-300
The distance between our
right and left eyes
functions to provide us
with a cue for depth
perception known as
SP3-400
Answer:
retinal disparity
SP3-400
Railroad tracks appear to
converge in the distance.
This provides a cue for depth
perception known as
SP3-500
Answer:
linear perspective
SP3-500
A door casts an increasingly
trapezoidal image on our
retinas as it opens, yet we
still perceive it as
rectangular. This illustrates
SP4-100
Answer:
shape constancy

Grass seen through
sunglasses appears equally
as green as it does without
glasses. This best illustrates
SP4-200
Answer:
color constancy

After some practice,
Carol was able to read
books while holding them
upside down.
This best illustrates
SP4-300
Answer:
perceptual adaptation
SP4-300
The pitch is determined
by point of maximum
vibration on the
basilar membrane.
SP4-400
Answer:
Place Theory
Helps explain “HIGH” pitch sounds

Hearing loss caused
by damage to
eardrum or bones in
middle ear.
SP4-500
Answer:
Conduction

Spinal cord can either block pain
(large fibers) or allow it to be
sensed (small fibers, open)

Name the 4
Types of
Extrasensory Perception
SP5-500
Answer:
1. Telepathy – Mind-to-mind communication. One person
sending thoughts and the other receiving it.
2. Clairvoyance – Perception of remote events (Skype
without the video, sense a friend’s house on fire!)
3. Precognition – Ability to see future events (Psychic)(i.e.,
seeing a political leaders death)
4. Psychokinesis – perform physical task with mind

REVIEW SLIDES
• Detection: Anytime your senses pick up something
• Absolute Threshold: 50% of the time going to detect at a certain
level…think music, sight, when do you first see it…
• Subliminal Threshold: might pick up below absolute threshold here
and there
• Difference Threshold: being able to pick up what is higher or louder
50% of the time…can you see the light get brighter? Sounds get
louder?
• Signal Detection Theory: expecting to hear sound because you are in
a hearing test, look for it, new parents…waitress, late at night in a
parking not…motivation, expectations…

1 Relative Height
Description
We perceive objects that are higher in our field
of vision to be farther away than those that are lower.
Nearby objects reflect more light into our eyes than more distant objects.
Given two identical objects, the dimmer one appears to be farther away

Light & Shadow
Relative Size
Objects are similar in size, we perceive the one
that casts a smaller retinal image to be farther away.
4
Interposition
Objects that block other objects
tend to be perceived as closer
5
6
Linear Perspective Parallel lines appear to converge in the distance.
More the lines converge, the greater perceived distance.
Texture Gradient
7 Relative Clarity

Relative
Motion
Surfaces: walls, roads, fields of flowers in bloom, have a texture.
Surface gets farther away texture gets finer, appears smoother
Light from distant objects passes through more light, perceive hazy
objects as farther away than sharp clear objects.
When moving our head from side to side, nearby objects
appear to move more than distance objects; far objects
appear to move slower than nearby objects
