| 694755974 | Sensation | simple stimulation of a sense organ.Physical energy in the world. | |
| 694755975 | Perception | the organization, identification, and interpretation of a sensation in order to form a mental representation.Neural energy in the brain. | |
| 694755976 | Top-Down Processing | what is perceived is largely determined by perceiver knowledge, expectations, goals, etc. | |
| 694755977 | Bottom-Up Processing | what is perceived is largely determined by the features of stimuli reaching the sense organs. | |
| 694755978 | How is Multitasking related to Top-Down Processing? | Multitasking can generate top-down processing conflicts as your mind actively tries to focus on important information. | |
| 694755979 | Sensory Adaptation | sensitivity to stimulation tends to decline over time—as we adapt to current conditions. | |
| 694755980 | How can Autism and Sensory Adaptation be related? | Some have suggested that autistics might not experience "sensory adaptation" in the usual sense—without reducing the typical sensory input, they can experience sensory overload | |
| 694755981 | Perceptual Constancy | A perceptual principle stating that even as aspects of sensory signals change, perception remains consistent. | |
| 694755982 | Change Blindness | Failure to perceive changes in the environment. | |
| 694755983 | Psychophysics | Methods that measure the strength of a stimulus and the observer's sensitivity to that stimulus. | |
| 694755984 | Signal Detection Theory | one's response to a stimulus depends on sensitivity to it in the presence of "noise" and on decision rules. | |
| 694755985 | Hit | Stimulus Present and Stimulus Detected. | |
| 694755986 | Miss | Stimulus Present and Stimulus Not Detected. | |
| 694755987 | False Alarm | Stimulus Not Present and Stimulus Detected. | |
| 694755988 | Correct Rejection | Stimulus Present and Stimulus Not Detected. | |
| 694755989 | Perceptual Organization | involves separating an object from its surroundings | |
| 694755990 | Similarity | regions similar in color, lightness, shape, or texture are perceived as belonging to the same object | |
| 694755991 | Proximity | objects that are close together tend to be grouped together | |
| 694755992 | Common Fate | elements of a visual image that move together are perceived as parts of a single moving object | |
| 694755993 | Continuity | edges or contours that have the same orientation tend to be perceptually grouped together | |
| 694755994 | Closure | people fill in missing elements of a visual scene, allowing perception of edges separated by gaps as belonging to complete objects | |
| 694755995 | Individualism | a set of cultural expectations that "prioritize" individuals over groups | |
| 694755996 | Collectivism | a set of cultural expectations that "prioritize" groups over individuals |
