Document Summary

Chapter 4: as people grow older, the lens becomes more rigid. A: because the lens is more rigid, older people are less able to change their focus for objects at different distances. A: the center of the retina has only cones. If you look slightly to the side, light falls on a retinal area with more rods, which respond better to faint light. A: you will see more objects in the periphery. A: you see yellow: the negative afterimage that you created by staring at figure 4. 12 may seem to move against the background. A: the afterimage is on your eye, not on the background. A: we localize sounds by comparing the input into the two ears. A: sounds will be louder in the left ear than in the right, and therefore, they may seem to be coming from the left side even when they aren"t.
