Chapter 13 - Sensory-Perception
Development
Sensation - correct answer-The neural activity triggered by a stimulus activating a sensory
receptor
Perception - correct answer-A multistage process in the central nervous system
Sensory system - correct answer-the part of your nervous system that detects or senses the
environment
Visual development - correct answer-Visual sensation and perception
Visual acuity - correct answer-sharpness of vision
Presbyopia - correct answer-farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the
eye, occurring typically in middle and old age.
Cataracts - correct answer-clouding of the lens
Glaucoma - correct answer-increased intraocular pressure results in damage to the retina
and optic nerve with loss of vision
Age-related maculopathy - correct answer-a disease affecting the central area of the retina
that provides detailed vision
Symptoms of Visual Problems (Any Age) - correct answer-Lack of eye-hand coordination,
squinting, under- or overreaching for objects, unusual head movements
Visual perception - correct answer-the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by
processing information that is contained in visible light
Perception of space - correct answer-requires perception of depth and distance
Retinal dexterity - correct answer-Difference in images received by the two eyes as a result
of their different locations
Motion parallax - correct answer-Change in optical location for objects in motion at different
distances
Optic flow - correct answer-Change in the pattern of optical texture as we move forward or
backward
Figure and ground perception - correct answer-The ability to see objects of interest seen as
distinct from background
