    The process of which sensory receptors produce neural impulses when they receive physical or chemical stimulation is known as:

    • Perception

    • Judgment

    • Sensory adaptation

    • Transduction

    Correct Answer
    A. Transduction
    Explanation
    Transduction is the process by which sensory receptors convert physical or chemical stimulation into neural impulses. It is the initial step in the perception of sensory information. Sensory adaptation refers to the decrease in sensitivity to a constant stimulus over time. Judgment is the cognitive process of forming an opinion or evaluation. Therefore, the correct answer is transduction.

    How far away would a candle have to be on a dark, clear night for my brain to perceive it at a minimal level.

    • 1 mile

    • 10 miles

    • 20 miles

    • 30 miles

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 miles
    Explanation
    On a dark, clear night, the minimal level at which our brain can perceive a candle depends on various factors such as the brightness of the candle, the darkness of the surroundings, and the sensitivity of our eyes. In this case, the correct answer is 30 miles, indicating that the candle would need to be positioned at a distance of 30 miles for our brain to perceive it at the minimal level. This suggests that the candle would have to emit a significantly high amount of light or be placed in an extremely dark environment for it to be visible at such a long distance.

  • 9. 

    A decrease in sensitivity due to a constant level of stimulation is defined in the textbook as:

    • Desensitization

    • Gustation

    • Sensory adaptation

    • Sensory decay

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensory adaptation
    Explanation
    Sensory adaptation refers to a decrease in sensitivity to a constant level of stimulation. This means that over time, our sensory receptors become less responsive to a stimulus that remains unchanged. This adaptation allows our senses to focus on detecting new or changing stimuli, rather than continuously responding to unchanging ones. Therefore, sensory adaptation is the correct term for this phenomenon.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Gustation is:

    • The sense of taste

    • The sense of smell

    • The sense of touch

    • The sense of hearing

    Correct Answer
    A. The sense of taste
    Explanation
    Gustation refers to the sense of taste. It is the ability to perceive different flavors and sensations through the taste buds on the tongue. This sense allows us to distinguish between sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami flavors. It is closely related to our sense of smell, as the two senses work together to create our perception of flavor. The sense of touch, hearing, and smell are not directly related to gustation.

    The thin layer of tissue within the nasal cavity that is embedded with small receptors that perform olfaction (the sense of smell) is known as:

    • Olfactory epithelium

    • Olfactory bulb

    • Papillae

    • Odorants

    Correct Answer
    A. Olfactory epithelium
    Explanation
    The correct answer is olfactory epithelium. The olfactory epithelium is a thin layer of tissue located within the nasal cavity. It contains small receptors that are responsible for detecting and interpreting different smells, thus enabling the sense of smell or olfaction. This specialized epithelium plays a crucial role in the detection and processing of odorants, allowing us to perceive and distinguish various scents. The olfactory epithelium is essential for our sense of smell and is responsible for transmitting signals to the brain for further processing and interpretation.

    The sense of touch is known as:

    • Audition

    • Haptic Sense

    • Gustatory Sense

    Correct Answer
    A. Haptic Sense
    Explanation
    The sense of touch is known as the haptic sense. This sense allows us to perceive and interpret physical sensations through the skin, such as pressure, temperature, and texture. It plays a crucial role in our daily lives, helping us navigate our environment, recognize objects, and experience physical sensations. Unlike audition, which refers to the sense of hearing, and gustatory sense, which refers to the sense of taste, haptic sense specifically pertains to the sense of touch.

    Rate this question:

    Having two ears helps us locate the source of the sound due to differences in timing and intensity between the two sounds.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Having two ears helps us locate the source of sound due to differences in timing and intensity between the two sounds. When a sound reaches one ear before the other, our brain processes this information to determine the direction from which the sound is coming. Additionally, the intensity or volume of the sound may be slightly different in each ear, allowing us to further pinpoint the source. Therefore, it is true that having two ears assists in sound localization.

    Simple cells in the eye detect which of the following (choose the most specific answer):

    • Movement

    • Shapes

    • Lines

    • Patterns

    Correct Answer
    A. Lines
    Explanation
    Simple cells in the eye detect lines. This is because simple cells are responsible for detecting basic visual features such as edges and lines. These cells are found in the primary visual cortex and are sensitive to the orientation and position of lines in the visual field. They play a crucial role in processing visual information and are essential for our perception of shapes and objects.

    Light in the center of the visual field increases the firing frequency of neurons while light in the surround decreases firing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because of the phenomenon known as center-surround organization in visual processing. In the visual system, there are specialized cells called receptive fields that respond to light stimuli. These receptive fields have a center region and a surrounding region. When light is presented in the center of the receptive field, the firing frequency of neurons increases. On the other hand, when light is presented in the surround region, the firing frequency of neurons decreases. This center-surround organization helps in enhancing contrast and detecting edges in visual stimuli.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Subtractive color mixing occurs within the stimulus while additive color mixing occurs in the receptors.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Subtractive color mixing refers to the process of creating colors by subtracting certain wavelengths of light. It occurs within the stimulus, meaning that it happens when different colored pigments or dyes are mixed together. On the other hand, additive color mixing refers to the process of creating colors by adding different wavelengths of light together. It occurs in the receptors, which are the cells in our eyes that detect light. Therefore, the statement that subtractive color mixing occurs within the stimulus while additive color mixing occurs in the receptors is true.

  • 36. 

    Bottom up processing is based on sensory information while top-down processing is based on our expectations.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Bottom-up processing refers to the way our brain processes information starting from the sensory receptors and moving towards higher-level cognitive processes. It involves taking in raw sensory data and building up a complete understanding of the stimulus. On the other hand, top-down processing involves using our existing knowledge, experiences, and expectations to interpret incoming sensory information. It relies on our cognitive processes to make sense of the world around us. Therefore, the statement that bottom-up processing is based on sensory information while top-down processing is based on our expectations is true.

    A. Fusiform Gyrus
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Fusiform Gyrus. The Fusiform Gyrus is a specific part of the brain that is responsible for facial recognition. It is located in the temporal lobe and plays a crucial role in processing and identifying faces. This region is particularly active when individuals are engaged in tasks related to face recognition, such as identifying familiar faces or recognizing facial expressions.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    People are better at recognizing faces of their own race.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Research has shown that people are generally better at recognizing faces of their own race compared to faces of other races. This phenomenon is known as the own-race bias or the cross-race effect. It is believed to be influenced by various factors, including exposure and familiarity. People tend to have more experience and exposure to faces of their own race, leading to increased familiarity and better recognition. This bias can have implications in various fields, such as eyewitness testimony and criminal investigations, where accurate face recognition is crucial.

    The ability to detect where ones limbs are in space is known as:

    • Vestibular sense

    • Kinesthetic sense

    • Electroreception

    • Extrasensory Perception

    Correct Answer
    A. Kinesthetic sense
    Explanation
    The ability to detect where one's limbs are in space is known as kinesthetic sense. This sense allows us to have a sense of body position and movement without relying on visual cues. It is responsible for our ability to perform coordinated movements and maintain balance. Kinesthetic sense is important for activities such as dancing, playing sports, and even simple tasks like walking and reaching for objects. It involves receptors in our muscles, tendons, and joints that send signals to the brain, giving us a constant awareness of the position and movement of our body parts.

    • Classical Conditioning

    • Stimulus Generalization

    • Stimulus Discrimination

    • Operant Conditioning

    Correct Answer
    A. Operant Conditioning
    Explanation
    Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the consequences of an action determine the likelihood of it being repeated in the future. It involves the use of reinforcement or punishment to strengthen or weaken a behavior. This type of conditioning is based on the principle that behaviors that are followed by positive consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by negative consequences are less likely to be repeated. Therefore, operant conditioning is the correct answer as it best describes the learning process mentioned in the question.

    A bell is rang every time a dog is given food. Eventually, the dog starts drooling when the bell is rang along. Then, the bell rang but food is not given and the behavior is eventually extinguished. A few days later, the bell is rang and the dog starts drooling again. What is this known as, when an extinguished conditioned stimulus suddenly produces a conditioned response?

    • Stimulus discrimination

    • Stimulus generalization

    • Spontaneous recovery

    Correct Answer
    A. Spontaneous recovery
    Explanation
    Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a conditioned response after it has been extinguished. In this scenario, the dog had learned to associate the sound of the bell with the presentation of food, but when the food was no longer given, the behavior of drooling in response to the bell was extinguished. However, after a few days, the dog started drooling again when the bell was rang, even though there was no food present. This reappearance of the conditioned response is known as spontaneous recovery.

    A phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. It is characterized by a fear that is out of proportion to the actual threat posed by the object or situation. This means that the level of fear experienced by the individual is much higher than what would be considered normal or reasonable. Additionally, phobias are acquired, meaning that they are learned through personal experiences or observations. Therefore, the correct answer options are "Out of proportion" and "Acquired."

    • Classical Conditioning

    • Operant Conditioning

    • Counterconditioning

    • Desensitization

    Correct Answer
    A. Operant Conditioning
    Explanation
    Exposing people to small doses of a feared stimulus while having them engage in a pleasurable task fits into classical conditioning, counterconditioning, and desensitization. In classical conditioning, the feared stimulus is paired with a pleasurable task to create a new association. Counterconditioning involves replacing a negative response with a positive one. Desensitization aims to reduce fear or anxiety by gradually exposing individuals to the feared stimulus. However, it does not fit into operant conditioning, which focuses on learning through consequences and rewards for behaviors.
