PUPIL 

What is the clear covering over the opening in the center of the eye called? LENS

What is the function of the iris?  MUSCLE THAT CONTROLS THE SIZE OF THE PUPIL

What is the function of the lens? TO BEND LIGHT WAVES TO FOCUS ON THE FOVEA

In which part of the eye is light changed into a neural impulse? RETINA

Which part of the brain processes visual information? VISUAL CORTEX

In which part of the eye is the light sensitive cells (rods and cones) located? FOVEA/RETINA

What part of the eye is responsible for transduction? RETINA/GANGLION CELLS

What is the fovea? CENTER AREA OF THE RETINA, CONTAINS CONES

Identify the type of light sensitive cells (rods or cones) that each of the following statements describes.

According to the Trichromatic Theory, three variety of cones. What are they? RED, GREEN, BLUE

What is the most common type of color blindness? RED-GREEN

How does the Opponent-Process Theory differ from the Trichromatic Theory? TRI: THREE DIFFERENT COLORS OF CONES; OP: CONES FUNCTION IN AN EITHER/OR FORMAT

If a person stares at a piece of yellow construction paper for about one minute then looks at a blank piece of white paper, what color will he/she see? BLUE

What do we call a stimulus that is below the absolute threshold? SUBLIMINAL

What is sensory adaptation? DIMINISHED AWARENESS OF A STIMULI AFTER REPEATED EXPOSURE

The sense of hearing is known as: AUDITION

How is loudness determined and how is it measured? The height, or amplitude of the sound wave determines the Wave height, which is measured in decibels . 

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch (high or low) which describes a sound’s highness or lowness and is measured or expressed as hertz(the number of sound waves that reach the ear per second).

neural impulse 

What part of the ear amplifies the eardrum’s vibration? Three tiny ear bones – hammer, anvil, stirrup 

What part of the ear brings information from the ear to the brain? Auditory nerve 

What is the area within the cochlea of the ear which contains the hair cells? Basilar membrane 

Name the three bones in the middle ear: anvil, hammer, stirrup 

What is the name of the snail-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves to neural messages? Cochlea 

What part of the air is a tight membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it? Ear drum

What part of the ear is responsible for transduction? Basilar membrane
