Document Summary

Review for exam 2: general psychology 830:101:01 & 03. Know the definitions of sensation and perception, the parts (and function of the parts) of the eye, including types and functions of receptors. Also know the parts of the ear, how sound is defined (amplitude, frequency, wavelength ), types and causes of deafness. * sensation: the conversion of energy from the environment into a pattern of response by the nervous system; the detection of stimuli. * perception: the interpretation of that information e. g. : light rays striking your eyes: sensation. * iris: the colored structure on the surface of the eye surrounding the pupil. Light that passes through the eye passes through a layer of vitreous humor (jellylike substance) to strike the retina. * retina: a layer of visual receptors covering the back surface of the eyeball. * cornea: a rigid transparent structure on the outside of the eyeball.
