Ace – What is the difference between sensation and perception?
2 – What do we call the minimum threshold required to detect a stimulus 50% of the time?
3 – What is signal detection theory?
4 – What is Weber’s Law?
5 – What is gate-control theory?
6 – What theory explains why you see a red afterimage after staring at a green circle?
7 – What do we call a stimulus that is below the absolute threshold?
8 – All of our senses are subject to sensory adaptation. Why, then, do images not disappear when we stare at them for a long time?
9 – What is sensory adaptation?
10 – What part of the eye lets light in?
Jack – What part of the eye regulates the amount of light coming in?
Queen – What do we call the central part of the retina?
King – Name two differences between rods and cones (beside their shapes)?
Black
Ace – What causes the blind spot?
2 – What is audition?
3 – What aspect of a sound wave determines the pitch?
4 – Name the three bones in the middle ear.
5 – What is the name of the snail-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves to neural messages?
6 – What is the difference between place theory and frequency theory?
7 – How do we locate sounds?
8 – What is the name of the neurotransmitters that block pain?
9 – What is sensory interaction?

Red
Ace – Sensation is DETECTION of a stimulus, perception is ORGANIZATION and INTERPRETATION
2 – absolute threshold
3 –experience and motivation can affect your ability to detect a stimulus; absolute threshold changes depending on situation
4 –two stimuli must differ by a certain PERCENTAGE as opposed to a constant amount in order to perceive a difference
5 – The theory stating that psychological factors can block pain messages from traveling to our brain
6 – opponent process theory of color vision
7 – subliminal
8 – because our eyes jiggle
9 – diminished sensitivity to a constant stimulus
10 – pupil
Jack – iris
Queen – fovea
King – 1) more rods than cones, 2) cones detect color, rods don’t; 3) cones concentrated in fovea, rods on periphery, 4) rods more
sensitive to light, 5) cones more detail sensitive
Black
Ace – hole in the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye
2 – hearing
3 – frequency
4 – hammer, anvil, and stirrup (collectively, they are called ossicles)
5 – cochlea
6 – Frequency theory describes how we distinguish low-pitched sounds – the frequency at which the basilar membrane vibrates; Place
theory describes how we distinguish high-pitched sounds – what located of the basilar membrane vibrates the most
7 – time lag between when the sound reaches the left and right ear.
8 – endorphins
9 – one sense can influence another (example – food tastes different if your can’t smell it)
10 – taste
Jack – sense of location of body parts
Queen – semicircular canals
Kings – cells that detect tension in your muscles for your kinesthetic sense; they are located in muscles, tendons, and joints.
