Exam 4: Sensation and Perception-Part C

Area MT in the temporal lobe is specialized for the visual perception of motion.

The vibration of the ossicles causes the eardrum to vibrate.

Olfactory information is relayed to the olfactory bulb via the thalamus.

The distributed view of object recognition states that there are specialized areas in the brain that respond only to specific objects (e.g. ,faces).

Mixing sound waves of different frequencies results in changes in timbre.

Someone who cannot recognize familiar faces may have suffered damage in the ventral stream of visual processing.

L-cones detect blue light.

The field of psychophysics was developed by Wilhelm Wundt.

Area MT in the occipital lobe is specialized for the visual perception of motion.

If you stare at something green for a long time and then look at a white surface,you will perceive the color red.

The fact that people rate the same odor as more pleasant if it is paired with an appealing verbal label illustrates the bottom-up approach to the perception of odor.

What we perceive as the color white is really the absence of light waves.

Interposition is a binocular depth cue.

Linear perspective is a depth cue that requires only one eye to experience.

The vestibular system is composed of four types of touch receptors and thermoreceptors.

The gate-control theory of pain states that signals arriving from pain receptors can be blocked by opiate drugs in the somatosensory cortex.
