,Question 1:
Which of the following is NOT a type of sensory receptor?
(A) Photoreceptor
(B) Mechanoreceptor
(C) Chemoreceptor
(D) Nociceptor
(E) Thermoreceptor
Rationale: Nociceptors are not a type of sensory receptor. They
are specialized nerve endings that detect pain.
Question 2:
The absolute threshold is defined as:
(A) The minimum intensity of a stimulus required for detection
50% of the time.

,(B) The maximum intensity of a stimulus that can be detected.
(C) The difference in intensity between two stimuli that can be
detected 50% of the time.
(D) The point at which a stimulus becomes consciously perceived.
Rationale: The absolute threshold is the minimum intensity of a
stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time.
Question 3:
Weber's Law states that:
(A) The just noticeable difference (JND) is a constant proportion
of the original stimulus intensity.
(B) The JND is inversely proportional to the original stimulus
intensity.
(C) The JND is independent of the original stimulus intensity.
(D) The JND is always the same, regardless of the stimulus.
Rationale: Weber's Law states that the JND is a constant
proportion of the original stimulus intensity.

, Question 4:
Which of the following is an example of sensory adaptation?
(A) Getting used to the smell of your own perfume after wearing it
for a while.
(B) Seeing a faint star in the night sky after staring at it for a few
minutes.
(C) Feeling the pressure of your clothes on your skin after wearing
them for a long time.
(D) Hearing a loud noise and then having your ears ring.
Rationale: Sensory adaptation refers to the decrease in sensitivity to
a constant stimulus over time. Getting used to the smell of your
own perfume after wearing it for a while is an example of this.
Question 5:
The process by which the brain interprets sensory information is
called:
(A) Sensation
(B) Perception
