Document Summary

Lateral inhibition: inhibition that is transmitted across the retina. Illumination of receptor a caused large response, but when adding light at receptor b, a"s response decreased. Perceptual process: stimulus in environ; light reflected and focused; receptor processes; neural processing; perception recognition action (last 3 in any order) Neural processing: transmit signals, change signals as transmitted. Primary receiving areas: electrical signals from each sense arrive at the pra for that sense in the cerebral cortex; O - vision; t - hearing; p - skin senses; f - all senses, important role in perceptions that involve coordination of information received through two or more senses. Principle of transformation: stimuli and responses created by stimuli are transformed, or changeed, between the distal stimulus and perception. Principle of representation: everything a person perceives is based not on direct contact with stimuli but on representations of stimuli that are formed ont eh receptors and the resulting activity in the person"s nervous system.
