Answer
  • color
  • brightness
  • saturation
  • light purity

Question 2

  • have poor peripheral vision
  • be able to detect extremely fin details

Question 3

Question
The primary visual cortex is located in the
Answer
  • occipital lobe
  • temporal lobes
  • parietal lobes
  • frontal lobe

Question 4

Question
If you project a red, a green, and a blue light into space, the point at which the three lights cross will lead to the perception of
Answer
  • black light
  • ultraviolet light
  • white light
  • infrared light

Question 5

Question
The perception associated with the amplitude of a sound wave is
Answer
  • timbre
  • loudness
  • tonal quality
  • richness

Question 6

Question
The structure of the ear that transduces sound vibrations into verve impulses is the
Answer

  • temporal lobe
  • stirrup

Question 7

Question

Answer
  • You'll see blue afterimage
  • You'll see a red afterimage

Answer
  • retina
  • iris
  • choroid
  • cornea

Answer
  • minimum threshold
  • lower range
  • absolute threshold
  • maximum threshold

Question 10

Question

Answer
  • the siren is loudest toward one side of your head
  • the sirens frighten you our of the way
  • who mentioned anything about a siren?
  • our brain relies on sound amplitude and time differences in the arrival of compression waves

Question 12

Question
Chronic exposure to high amplitude sound waves likely caused definess by
Answer
  • Damaging the middle ear bones
  • breaking the eardrums
  • Damaging hair cells
  • Thickening the fluid in the inner ear

Question 13

Question

  • advanced
  • simple
  • top down
  • north south
  • deductive reason

Question 14

Answer
  • your cold will cause the sweet receptors in your mouth to become inactivated
  • your high temperature will cause your brain to block signals from the taste buts in the mouth
  • because your natural produced antibodies interfere with chemical molecules stimulated by your taste buds
  • flavor is influenced by smell as well as taste, and with a reduced sense of smell your sense of taste will be diminished
