Document Summary
Other phenomenon chromosome: monochromats no perception of colour (on x, protanopia individuals with no red cones, deuteranopia loss of middle length (green) wave, tritanopia loss of small wave lengths (blue) lengths. Increase speed and efficiency of perception iii: can lead to an increase in perceptual errors. Difference threshold amount that 2 things need to differ something there or not) to realize difference: want to know when you know something has changed. Sensation info from environment coming into senses. Perception what brain does with that info.
