Chapter 10: Sensory-Perceptual
Development
1. up and down
2. forward and backward
3. side to side - correct answer-order of spatial dimensions
3 structures involved in hearing - correct answer--external ear
-middle ear
-cochlea of inner ear
absolute threshold - correct answer-minimum detectable sound that a hearer can sense at
least 50% of the time
acuity at 1st month - correct answer-20/400 (50% of what adults can see)
acuity at age 10 - correct answer-20/20
acuity at age 5 - correct answer-20/30
age-related maculopathy - correct answer-affects central area of retina
attributes of perception of objects - correct answer-size, shape and motion
auditory perception involves - correct answer--location
-differences in similar sounds
-patterns
-auditory figure and ground
auditory-kinesthetic - correct answer--improves in childhood
auditory-visual - correct answer--newborns turn towards music
-discrimination of patterns across these modalities- improve in childhood especially ages
5-12
-a task is easier for children when visual pattern is presented first
cataracts - correct answer-lens of eye gets cloudy or opaque
development of perception of objects - correct answer--infants use depth and motion more
than edges
-children refine figure and ground and whole and part
-preadolescents reach adult levels
differences (auditory perception) - correct answer--infants can discriminate basic speech
sounds from 1-4 months old
