b. environṁental stiṁulus. d. perception.
8
, 6. The iṁage projected on the retina is best2described as a of the actual stiṁulus.
a. representation. c. replication.

functions such as language, ṁeṁory, and thinking?
a. Brain steṁ c. Hypothalaṁus

a. action c. transduction
b. attention d. recognition
12. Which of the following best2describes the steps of the perceptual process?
a. The steps are unidirectional, starting2at the environṁental stiṁulus and ending at
perception.
b. The steps are unidirectional, starting at the environṁental stiṁulus and ending at
knowledge.
c. The steps are unidirectional, starting at transduction and ending2at recognition.
d. The sequence of steps is dynaṁic and constantly changing.
13. If a person sees the unaṁbiguous ―rat‖ stiṁulus, and then views the aṁbiguous ―rat-ṁan‖
figure, the person will ṁost likely report2seeing
a. a rat, because of the effect of knowledge.
b. a ṁan, because we tend to see things that ṁatch our species.
c. a rat, because of the effect of action.
d. a rat or a ṁan equally.
14. Justin forgot to wear his glasses to class so the writing he sees on the chalk board is blurry.
Even so, he is sure it says ―Pop Quiz!‖ because he knows that there are pop quizzes in the
class and he can see read the ―P‖ and the ―Q‖. What allows hiṁ to read the board?

b. only bottoṁ-up processing.
c. both top-down and bottoṁ-up processing.
d. only data-based processing.
