PSYC 230 UIUC EXAM 1 CERTIFICATION AND COURSE REVIEW
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS FOR
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
The act of organising and interpreting sensory data that allows us to identify
significant things and occurrences is called perception.
Do we actually have five senses? ANSWER No, there are seven to twelve
distinct senses.
Neural response, transduction, and ANSWER receptors in neural transduction
Sensation: in response to an environmental input, sensory receptors are
activated (physical stimulus---->neural signal).
Everyone's interior experience of the outside world is known as
phenomenology.
The five senses, according to Aristotle, are smell, sight, touch, taste, and
hearing. However, science indicates that there are many more senses.
Thomas Young's response demonstrated that light could be diffracted, just like
waves, and colour reflectors
Johannes Mueller's ANSWER theory of various senses, or particular nerve
energies
Von Helmholtz-ANSWER Perception is made up of three fundamental colour
sensors, unconscious inference, and cognitive processes in addition to senses.
Hering: Two pairs of opposing colours (four basic colours, not three) are used to
see the ANSWER colours.
, The only discernible change between two stimuli is determined by a fraction of
the original stimulus rather than by a fixed quantity of difference, according to
Weber's Law.
Fechner is the father of psychophysics, which examines the connection between
perceptions evoked by physical stimuli.
ANSWER feeling is a logarithmic function of physical intensity, according to
Fechner's Law.
The whole is larger than the sum of its parts, according to Gestalt psychology.
ANSWER elements near one another are typically regarded as a single entity,
according to the Law of Proximity (Gestalt).
The Law of Common Fate (Gestalt) states that visual components moving in the
same direction and/or at the same speed constitute a single stimulus.
The law of closure (gestalt) states that even when some information is absent,
we typically see full figures.
The Law of Similarity (Gestalt) states that comparable objects are more likely to
be grouped together.
ANSWER pieces that seem to follow the same course are typically grouped
together according to the Law of Good Continuation (Gestalt).
Gibson and Direct Perception: ANSWER: Perception is sensation; one sees
what one receives.
The information processing approach, which breaks down thought into discrete
phases and component operations (like a computer), is one way to study
cognition.
computational approach-ANSWER explains the issue the system is attempting
to resolve and the limitations it employs to do so, usually in an abstract manner.
