SENSATION AND PERCEPTION PREMIUM
REVIEW SET 2026 PRACTICE SOLUTION
GUARANTEED PASS
◉ subliminal stimulation. Answer: below the threshold
◉ priming. Answer: unconscious activation of certain associations;
predisposes one's perception, memory, or response
◉ sensory adaptation. Answer: the nervous system pays more
attention to changing stimuli than constant stimuli
◉ sensory deprivation. Answer: deliberate removal of stimuli from
the senses;
examples: blindfold, earplugs
◉ transduction. Answer: the process that converts physical energy
into neural messages
◉ receptors. Answer: neurons that are activated by stimulation
transduce it into neural impulses
,◉ wavelength. Answer: distance from one peak of one light or sound
wave to the peak of the next
◉ hue / color / quality. Answer: dimension of color determined by
the wavelength of light
◉ amplitude (height). Answer: height from the peak to the trough
◉ brightness / intensity. Answer: the amount of energy in the light
or sound wave;
determined by the amplitude
◉ visual spectrum. Answer: small section of electromagnetic
spectrum to which our eyes are sensitive
◉ proximal. Answer: internal stimulus energies that represent distal
(out there)
◉ sclera. Answer: white outer wall of the eye;
protects the eyeball except cornea
◉ cornea. Answer: covers iris, pupil, anterior chamber, and refracts
light
, ◉ pupil. Answer: adjustable opening in center of the eye through
which light enters
◉ iris. Answer: colored muscle that adjust light intake by expanding
and contracting
◉ lens. Answer: changes shape to help focus images on retina
◉ accommodation. Answer: process by which the lens focuses the
rays by changing its curvature
◉ myopia. Answer: nearsightedness;
lens does not bend enough
◉ hyperopia. Answer: farsightedness;
lens bends too much
◉ astigmatism. Answer: blurred vision due to irregular shape of the
cornea
◉ retina. Answer: ***transduction occurs here***;
multilayered tissue on the eyeball's sensitive inner surface
