| 1. | theory of pitch that states that pitch is related to the speed of vibrations in the basiliar membrane |
| 4. | theory of pitch that states that different pitches are experienced by the stimulation of hair cells in different locations on the organ of Corti |
| 7. | the assumption that an object that appears to be blocking part of another object is in front of the second object and closer to the viewer |
| 8. | the smallest difference between two stimuli that is detectable 50% of the time |
| 10. | the tendency to complete figures that are incomplete |
| 13. | ares of the brain located just above the sinus cavity and just below the frontal lobes that receive information from the olfactory receptor cells |
| 15. | an explanation of motion sickness in which the information from the eyes conflicts with the information from the vestibular senses, resulting in dizziness, nausea, and other physical discomfort |
| 16. | as a monocular cue, the brain's use of information about the changing thickness of the lens of the eye in response to looking at objects that are close or far away |
| 17. | area in the retina where the axons of the three layers of retinal cells exit the eye to form the optic nerve; insensitive to light |
| 18. | the process that occurs when special receptors in the sense organs are activated, allowing various forms of outside stimuli to become neural signals in the brain |
| 20. | the visible part of the eye |
| 21. | the tendency for parallel lines to appear to converge on each other |
| 22. | short tunnel that runs from the pinna to the eardrum |
| 25. | the recovery of the eye's sensitivity to visual stimuli in light after exposure to darkness |
| 28. | the tendency to perceive the apparent brightness of an object as the same even when the light conditions change |
| 30. | the tendency to perceive two things that happen close together in time as being related |
| 33. | visual illusions in which the figure and ground can be reversed |
| 35. | the tendency for textured surfaces to appear to become smaller and finer as distance from the viewer increases |
| 39. | psychological experience of sound that corresponds to the frequency of the sound waves |
| 40. | visual sensory recepts found at the back of the retina, responsible for noncolor sensitivity to low levels of light |
| 41. | visual sensory receptors at the back of the retina, responsible for color vision and shapness of vision |
| 42. | cues for perceiving depth based on both eyes |
| 43. | the lowest level of stimulation that a person can consciously detect 50% of the time the stimulation is present |
| 45. | the use of preexisting knowledge to organize individual features into a unified whole |
| 48. | sense of the location of body parts in relation to the ground and each other |
| 51. | the tendency to perceive objects, or figures, as existing on a background |
| 52. | bundle of axons from the hair cells in the inner ear |
| 53. | cycles of waves per second, a measurement of frequency |
| 54. | perception that occurs when objects that a person expects to be of a certain size appear to be small and are, therefore, assumed to be much farther away |
| 55. | tendency of the brain to stop attending to constant, unchanging inforation |
| 56. | the sensation of smell |
| 57. | the rotation of the two eyes in their sockets to focus on a single object, resulting in greater convergence for closer objects and lesser convergence if objects are distant |
