Document Summary

This is intended to be a guide only. You are responsible for all of the lecture material and assigned reading material. What is the jnd: difference threshold is the lowest level of stimulation required to sense that a change in stimulation has occurred. What is sensory adaptation: habituation is the repeated presentation of a stimulus leads to less attentions. Assumes that there is no single absolute threshold and that detection depends partly on a person"s experience, expectations, motivation, and level of fatigue. What factors affect response bias: respo(cid:374)se (cid:271)ias is the perso(cid:374)"s readi(cid:374)ess to report detecting a stimulus. We tend to group together objects that are close to one another. We tend to group together objects that are similar to one another. The brain organizes stimuli into continuous lines or patterns. We tend to perceive incomplete figures as complete. 3: retina, rods, and cones, the retina is the area in back of the eye that contains your rods and cones.
