AP Psychology Unit 4 Questions and
Correct answers |Already Graded
A+||Brand New Version!!!
cones - correct answer -retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near
the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit
conditions. These detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations.
optic nerve - correct answer -the nerve that carries neural impulses
from the eye to the brain.
blind spot - correct answer -the point at which the optic nerve leaves
the eye and no receptor cells are located there.
fovea - correct answer -the central focal point in the retina, around
which the eye's cones cluster.
, feature detectors - correct answer -nerve cells in the brain that respond
to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.
parallel processing - correct answer -the processing of many aspects of
a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information
processing for many functions, including vision. Contrasts with the step-
by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem
solving.
Young-Helmholtz trichromatic (three-color) theory - correct answer -the
theory that the retina contains three different color receptors—one
most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue—which, when
stimulated in combination, can produce the perception of any color.
opponent-process theory - correct answer -the theory that opposing
retinal processes (red-green, yellow-blue, white-black) enable color
vision. For example, some cells are stimulated by green and inhibited by
red; others are stimulated by red and inhibited by green.
audition - correct answer -the sense or act of hearing.
