Document Summary
How can hearing be improved: describe how the sense of taste works, and identify the five basic tastes, synesthesia, sensory information processed in wrong cortical areas, information interpreted through more than one sense. Perceiving sensations across more than one sense enhances the memory for it (taste, smell, touch, sight, etc) Absolute threashold: least energy for correct stimulus detection 50% of time. Subliminal advertising: habituation and sensory adaptation, habituation. Lower centers of the brain filter sensory stimulation and (cid:498)ignore(cid:499) stimuli that do not change: no longer sending messages to the brain, sensory adaptation. Corresponds to amplitude of light waves: color. Corresponds to the length of the light waves. 2: saturation: purity of perceived color, highly saturated: wavelengths all the same. Less saturated: varying wavelengths: structure of the eye: the retina, light enters the eye through the cornea and pupil (know process more than structures and functions)
