(course : PSYC 230 UIUC)
1. Phenomenology - ANSWER ✓ internal experience that everyone has
of the external world around them
2. Aristotle and the Five senses - ANSWER ✓ Aristotle said there were
five senses - smell, sight, touch, taste, and hearing - but science suggests
there are many more than that
3. Thomas Young - ANSWER ✓ showed that light, like waves, could be
diffracted, color recptors
4. Johannes Mueller - ANSWER ✓ doctrine of specific nerve energies
(distinct senses)
5. Von Helmholtz - ANSWER ✓ perception is constructed from both
senses and cognitive processes, unconscious inference, three basic color
receptors
6. Hering - ANSWER ✓ colors are perceived through 2 pairs of
opposing colors (four primary colors, not three)
,7. Weber's Law - ANSWER ✓ the just noticeable difference between
two stimuli is based on a proportion of the original stimulus rather than
on a fixed amount of difference
8. Fechner - ANSWER ✓ father of psychophysics, the study of the
relation between physical stimuli and the perception they elicit
9. Fechner's Law - ANSWER ✓ sensation is a logarithmic function of
physical intensity
10. Gestalt Psychology - ANSWER ✓ the whole is greater than the sum
of its parts
11. Law of Proximity (Gestalt) - ANSWER ✓ elements close to one
another tend to be perceived as a unit
12. Law of Common Fate (Gestalt) - ANSWER ✓ visual elements that
move in the same speed and/or direction are parts of a single stimulus
13. law of closure (gestalt) - ANSWER ✓ we tend to see complete
figures even when part of the information is missing
Perception - ANSWER ✓ the process of organizing and interpreting
sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and
events
,14. Are there really 5 senses? - ANSWER ✓ No, there are from 7-12
different senses
15. neural transduction - ANSWER ✓ receptors, transduction and neural
response
16. Sensation - ANSWER ✓ activation of sensory receptors due to a
stimulus in the environment (physical stimulus---->neural signal)
17. Law of Similarity (Gestalt) - ANSWER ✓ objects that are similar
tend to be grouped together
18. Law of Good Continuation (Gestalt) - ANSWER ✓ elements that
appear to follow the same pathway tend to be grouped together
19. Gibson and Direct Perception - ANSWER ✓ sensation is perception,
what you see is what you get
20. Information Processing Approach - ANSWER ✓ a perspective on
understanding cognition that divides thinking into specific steps and
component processes (LIKE A COMPUTER)
, 21. computational approach - ANSWER ✓ Describes the problem the
system is trying to solve and the constraints it uses in order to solve it,
most abstract
22. microelectrode - ANSWER ✓ a very fine electrode, generally used
to record activity of individual neurons
23. Neurophysiology - ANSWER ✓ explains the workings of the
nervous system
24. Agnosia - ANSWER ✓ the inability to recognize familiar objects
25. Prosopagnosia - ANSWER ✓ inability to recognize faces
26. EEG (electroencephalogram) - ANSWER ✓ shows brain's electrical
activity by positioning electrodes over the scalp
27. fMRI (functional MRI) - ANSWER ✓ A technique for revealing
bloodflow and, therefore, brain activity by comparing successive MRI
scans. fMRI scans show brain function
28. Psychophysical Scale - ANSWER ✓ a scale that measures the
relationship between human reactions and the physical stimuli causing
these reactions
