Document Summary
Sensation: ticking of a watch from 20 feet away. Absolute threshold: gorilla in basketball playing scene. Difference threshold: walking into a dark theater. Sensorial neutral deafness: transmits sound to inner ear. Gate theory: adaptations to this can be dangerous. Smell *if you adapt to the smell of gas you will die: position and motion. Pupil: creator blind spot at back of eye. Retina: no light reflexes out of eye. A binocular cue for perceiving depth based in the difference between the two images if an object that the retina receives as the object moves closer or father away. Cues for distance that may be available to either eye alone. A visual illusion in which the perception of motion is generated by the presentation of a series of stationary images in rapid succession. Visual cues for depth that require the use of both eyes. The perceptual tendency to group together visual and auditory events that are near each other.
