Document Summary

Then, sensory receptors (specialized cells that respond to specific types of energy) carry out transduction. Next, neural processing occurs, and neural networks transmit signals from the receptors to the brain and within the brain. After that, perception occurs, which is conscious awareness of a stimuli. Then, recognition occurs and the object is placed in a category that gives it meaning. The role of top-down processing increases as a stimuli becomes more complex. information processing based on psychophysical approach relationship between stimuli and a behavioral response. An example is the oblique effect an approach to studying perception where one measures the oblique effect psychophysical approach where individuals are shown horizontal, vertical, and slanted lines. Individuals had better detail vision for horizontal and vertical lines. physiological approach stimuli and physiological response are measured. For example, the intensity of sound one can barely hear. the minimum stimulus intensity that can just be detected.
