Pregunta 184

Pregunta
Early studies of the acoustic cues that are important in deciphering the speech signal revealed that
Respuesta
  • we need higher frequencies to identify vowel sounds and lower frequencies to identify consonants
  • we need more detailed frequency information to understand most speech sounds
  • our auditory system is capable of understanding many speech sounds with only a limited amount of frequency information
  • None of the above.

Respuesta
  • "black"
  • "grey"
  • "white"
  • their complimentary colour

Pregunta 188

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • a single tone that corresponds to the average frequency of all the tones
  • a single tone that corresponds to the fundamental frequency
  • the individual tones in harmony
  • white noise

Pregunta 189

Pregunta
The reason that sunlight appears white is because
Respuesta
  • subtractive colour mixing predicts that sunlight is white.
  • all other colours of the spectrum are absorbed by surrounding objects
  • white light is the only colour reflected by the sun
  • it is a mixture of all the spectral colours

Pregunta 190

Pregunta
Sounds that have a frequency below 20Hz
Respuesta
  • are called infrasonic
  • are never perceptible to humans
  • are called ultrasonic
  • none of the above

Pregunta 191

Pregunta
Which of the following is NOT an X-linked congenital colour vision defect?
Respuesta
  • Protanomalous trichromat
  • Protanopia
  • Deuteranopia
  • Tritanopia
  • Deuteranomalous trichromat

Pregunta 192

Pregunta
Deuteranopes lack
Respuesta
  • SWS cones
  • cyanolabe-containing photoreceptors
  • chlrorolabe-containing photoreceptors
  • y-b channels
  • both a and b

Pregunta 193

Pregunta
Why might the magno system respond both to movement and to the many cues used to judge distance and spatial relations?
Respuesta
  • Because the magno system can detect equiluminant parts and organize them into wholes
  • Because the magno system can combine the visual properties of an object in a way that enables it to perceive the image as a whole, thereby freeing the parvo system to see details
  • Because the magno system has a higher acuity than the parvo system
  • Because the magno system is also sensitive at detecting an object's borders
  • Because the magno system differentiates the object whole from its surface properties

Pregunta 194

Pregunta
According to zone theories that combine trichromacy with opponency, MWS and LWS cone activity can signal for
Respuesta
  • both luminance and chromatic r-g channels.
  • both luminance and chromatic y-b channels
  • both r-g and y-b channels.
  • luminance, r-g, and y-b channels.
  • chromatic r-g channels.
