senses
,perception - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the interpretation of what is sensed
| | | | | | | |
receptors - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Special structures that respond to a
| | | | | | | | |
physical stimulus by producing electrical charges that can initiate neural
| | | | | | | | | |
impulses
Transduction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-conversion of one form of energy
| | | | | | | | |
into another (sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses our brains
| | | | | | | | | | |
can interpret)
|
sensory neurons - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-neurons that carry incoming
| | | | | | | |
information from the sensory receptors to the central nervous system
| | | | | | | | |
sensory areas - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-sensory neurons and pathways
| | | | | | | |
lead to specific sensory areas in the cortex
| | | | | | |
Coding - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-representation of the stimulus in the
| | | | | | | | |
pattern of action potentials
| | |
quantity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a stronger stimulus -> larger electrical
| | | | | | | | |
changes in the receptors -> faster rate of action potentials in sensory
| | | | | | | | | | | |
neurons
, quality - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-different receptors are tuned to
| | | | | | | |
respond to different forms of energy
| | | | |
_____ are specialized neurons that convert energy in the environment

| | | | | |
The doctrine of specific nerve energies suggest that tones of different
| | | | | | | | | | |
pitch will be represented by ____ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the firing of
| | | | | | | | | | |
action potentials in different auditory neurons
| | | | |
the rate law suggests that the intensity (loudness) of a sound will be
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
represented by ______ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the number of action
| | | | | | | | |
potentials an auditory neuron will fire in a given period of time
| | | | | | | | | | |
cornea and lens - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-focus images onto the back of
| | | | | | | | | | |
