Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception
  1. Sensation Vs. Perception
    1. Sensation: the stimulation of a sense.
      1. Perception: an awareness or view created by the mind as a result of sensory input.
      2. Basic concepts
        1. Threshold
          1. Deff: the point (50%) where stimulus can be detected
            1. Absolute Threshold: the absolute minimum amount of stimulus an organism can detect.
              1. Just Noticeable Difference (JND): the smallest amount of change an organism can detect.
                1. Weber's Law: the size of the JND is in proportion to the stimulus.
                2. Signal-Detection Theory: involves both detection and sensory processesand are both influenced by a number of other factors.
                  1. Subliminal Perception: registration of sensory input without conscious awareness.
                    1. Sensory Adaption: the gradual decress in sensitivity due to prolonged exposure to a stimulus.
                    2. Vision and sight
                      1. Eye Diagram
                        1. The stimulus for sight is light.
                          1. The human eye only sees a small portion of the light spectrum known as visible light. (ROYGBIV= White Light)
                            1. Pathway of Light: Light-cornea-anterior chamber- pupil (through iris)-lens-anterior chamber- retina (rods and cones)- choride layer or to the Optic nerve- Occipital lobe.
                              1. Optic Chiasm: where the nerves in the eyes cross over.
                                  1. Trichromatic theory: There are three types of receptors (Red, Green, Blue) that have different sensitivities and can detect any combination of colours using theses.
                                    1. Colour blindness: occurs when a genetic deficiency effects the ability to tell colours appart.
                                    2. Auditory and sound
                                        1. sound waves are the stimulus for hearing.
                                          1. Place theory: the perception of sound is related to the vibration in diffrent locations in the basiler membrane.
                                            1. Frequency Theory: is the relation to the rate the basilar membrane vibrates at.
