1. Retina ANS a layer at the back of the eyeball containing cells that are
sensitive to light and that trigger impulses that pass via the optic nerve to the
brain, where a visual image is formed
2. Monocular Cues ANS require only one eye. Linear perspective,
interposition, relative height, relative size, light and shadow, relative motion.
3. Pitch ANS the quality of sounds governed by the rate of vibrations
producing it, the degree of highness or lowness of the tone
4. Inner Ear ANS the semicircular canals and cochlea, which form the organs
of balance and hearing are embedded in the temporal bone
5. Proximity ANS things that are close to one another tend to be grouped
together

, 6. Cornea ANS the clear, dome shaped outer layer of the eye that allows light
to enter and helps focus it on the retina
7. Hair Cells ANS sensory receptors in the inner ear that detect sound and
head movement, and are responsible for hearing and balance
8. Optic Nerve ANS the second cranial nerve responsible for transmitting
visual information
9. Ganglion Cells ANS cells whose combined axons form the optic nerve,
transmitting information to the brain
10. Decision Criteria ANS an observers rule for how much evidence it needs
before responding
11. Olfactory Bulb ANS a bulblike structure at the tip of the frontal lobe
where the olfactory nerves begin
12. Photoreceptors ANS cells in the retina responsible for detecting light;
includes cones and rods
13. Fovea ANS a small depression within the neurosensory retina where
visual acuity is the highest
