6633607132sensationThe process by which stimulation of a sensory receptor produces neural impulses that the brain interprets.0
6633607133perceptionthe process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.1
6633607134transductionconversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses our brains can interpret.2
6633607135sensory adaptationreduced responsiveness caused by prolonged stimulation3
6633607136absolute thresholdminimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time4
6633607137difference thresholdthe smallest change in stimulation that a person can detect 50% of the time5
6633607138Weber's Lawthe principle which states that the difference threshold is proportional to the intensity of the stimulus6
6633607139signal detection theorya theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus ("signal") amid background stimulation ("noise"). Assumes there is no single absolute threshold and detection depends partly on a person's experience, expectations, motivation, and level of fatigue.7
6633607140retinathe light-sensitive membrane covering the back wall of the eyeball8
6633607141photoreceptorsThe light-sensitive cells in the retina- the rods and cones.9
6633607142rodsretinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don't respond10
6633607143conesretinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. They detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations.11
6633607144foveathe central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster12
6633607145optic nervethe cranial nerve that serves the retina13
6633607146blind spotthe point where the optic nerve enters the retina (contains no rods or cones)14
6633607147brightnessA psychological sensation caused by the intensity of light waves.15
6633607148colorAlso called hue, it is not a property of things in the external world. It is a psychological sensation created by the brain from information obtained by the eyes from light waves of visible light.16

6633607158cochleaa coiled, snail shaped, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger nerve impulses26
6633607159basilar membraneA structure that runs the length of the cochlea in the inner ear and holds the auditory receptors, called hair cells.27
6633607160pitchthe property of sound that varies with variation in the frequency of vibration (how high or low the sound is)28
6633607161loudnessperception of sound intensity produced by amplitude of the wave29
6633607162timbreThe quality of a sound, as distinguished from intensity and pitch. It comes from the sound waves complexity.30

6633607173perceptThe meaningful product of perception - often an image that has been associated with concepts, memories of events, emotions, and motives.41
6633607174feature detectorsnerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement42
6633607175binding problemquestion of how the visual, auditory, and other areas of the brain influence one another to produce a combined perception of a single object43
6633607176bottom up processinganalysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information44
6633607177top down processinginformation processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations45
6633607178perceptual constancyperceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent lightness, color, shape, and size) even as illumination and retinal images change46
6633607179illusiona false perception47
6633607180ambiguous figuresimages that are capable of more than one interpretation.48
6633607181gestalt psychologya psychological approach that emphasizes that we often perceive the whole rather than the sum of the parts. Believed that much of perception is caused by innate characteristics of the brain.49

6633607183groundthe part of a pattern that does not command attention - A.K.A. the background51
6633607184closurea Gestalt principle of organization holding that there is an innate tendency to perceive incomplete objects as complete and to close or fill gaps and to perceive asymmetric stimuli as symmetric52
6633607185laws of perceptual groupingThe Gestalt principles of similarity, proximity, continuity, and common fate. These "laws" suggest how our brains prefer to group stimulus elements together to form a percept53
6633607186law of similaritya Getalt principle of organization holding that (other things being equal) parts of a stimulus field that are similar to each other tend to be perceived as belonging together as a unit54
6633607187law of proximitya Gestalt principle of organization holding that (other things being equal) objects or events that are near to one another (in space or time) are perceived as belonging together as a unit55

9060890553What are the distinct characteristics of matter?It has mass and it occupies space.0
9060890554Describe the shape and volume of a solid.Definite shape and definite volume.1
9060890555How do the particles move in a solid?The particles in a solid are packed tightly together and only vibrate gently around fixed positions.2
9060890556Describe the shape and volume of a liquid.Have no shape of their own but take the shape of their container. A liquid has a definite volume.3
9060890557How do the particles move in a liquid?The particles in a liquid are free to move.4
9060890558Describe the shape and volume of gases.Have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.5
9060890559How do the particles move in a Gas?The particles in a Gas spread apart filling all the space of the container available to them.6
9060890560Solids fall broadly into how many categories?Two7
9060890561What are the categories that solids broadly fall into?Crystalline And a amorphous8
9060890562Define crystalline.Where a regular, ordered, repeatable 3-D Structure of particles is found.9
9060890563Define amorphous.Where the arrangement of particles is not regular or ordered.10
9060890564Describe the movement of particles in the solids as crystalline or amorphous.In both cases, the particles in the solid have very little energy and move very little in relation to one another. They are sometimes described as 'vibrating around fixed positions.'11
9060890565Describe the movement of particles in liquids.Particles in liquids are constantly moving and colliding with one another, have significantly greater energy and move a lot in relation to one another.12
9060890566Since solids and liquids tend to have their particles very close together. Their volumes are often very similar. What does this mean?They have strong forces of attraction.13
9060890567***Since, in a Gas, the particles possess enough energy to overcome any intermolecular forces and hence move around completely freely and with large spaces between them, a liquid represents particles in an intermediate state between the extremely ordered and low energy state of a solid, and the extremely disordered and high energy state of a Gas.***14
9060890568All the properties of solids and liquids such as viscosity, surface tension, hardness etc., are dependent upon what?1. How the particles that make up the solid or liquid are arranged 2. The extent of the attractions between those particles15
9060890569Define viscosity.Thickness- resistance to motion16
9060890570Gases are made up of particles that have what kind of energy?(Relatively) large amounts17
9060890571A Gas has no definite ___________________ and will expand to ______________?Shape or volume; fill as much space as possible18
9060890572As a result of the large amount of empty space in a volume of gas, gases are ____________________?Easily compressed19
9060890573A pressure is what?Exerted when the gas particles collide with the walls of any container it is held in.20

9060890577What is the basis for many properties of gases?The Kinetic molecular theory24
9060890578What are the five postulates of the Kinetic molecular theory?1. Gases are composed of tiny particles (atoms or molecules) whose size is negligible compared to the average distance between them; the total volume that the gas fills is almost all empty space; the observation that gases are compressible. 2. The gas particles move randomly, in straight lines, in all directions and at various speeds. 3. The forces of attraction or repulsion between two gas particles are negligible, except when they collide. 4. When particles collide with one another, the collisions are elastic. The collisions with the walls of the container create the gas pressure. Elastic collisions do not spontaneously convert to the liquid. 5. The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the Kelvin temperature and as a result, all calculations involving gases should be carried out with temperatures converted to K.25
9060890579***These assumptions do have limitations. For example, gases can be liquified if cooled enough. This means "real" gas particles do attract one another to some extent; otherwise the particles would never stick to one another and therefore never condense to form a liquid.***26
