Sensation/ Perception Notes Activities HW/ Coming up: Read pages by Friday! Quiz is on Friday! Study Guide/Flashcards for your next unit due Wednesday, November 18th! Keep up with your flashcards (do about 3-4 a day) Sensation and Perception Test- Wednesday, November 18th! Goal(s): Be able to explain the body senses, synesthesia, as well as any factors that affect perception.

1. Kinesthesis: Our sense of the position and movement of individual body parts 1. Ex: One’s leg “falling asleep” is a disruption of the kinesthetic sense.

1. Vestibular Sense: The system for sensing body orientation and balance Regulated by the semicircular canals

A disorder where the brain mixes up all the senses. 2-one-step-beyond-synesthesia-video.htm

Be sure to play along!

Transduction- (signal transduction)- any process by which a biological cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another

Sensory Adaptation - diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.

Sensory Habituation- a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations. For example, a novel sound in your environment, such as a new ring tone, may initially draw your attention or even become distracting. After you become accustomed to this sound, you pay less attention to the noise and your response to the sound will diminish.

Overstimulation of the senses. Can use selective attention to reduce sensory overload. Selective attention The focusing of attention on selected aspects of the environment and the blocking out of others.

The Cocktail Party Effect Ability to listen to 1 voice among many Our auditory system separates the input into distinct auditory channels.

Inattentional (change) blindness Blindness caused by not attending to a stimulus.

Choice blindness Ways in which people are blind to their own choices and preferences

Visual capture The dominance of vision over other sense modalities in creating a percept. In this process, the visual senses influence the other parts of the somatosensory system, to result in a perceived environment that is not congruent with the actual stimuli

Sensory deprivation the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses Ex. sensory deprivation tank Critical period- a period during someone's development in which a particular skill or characteristic is believed to be most readily acquired In humans, some babies are born blind in one or both eyes, for example, due to cataracts. Even when their vision is restored later by treatment, their sight would not function in the normal way as for someone who had binocular vision from birth or had surgery to restore vision shortly after birth. Therefore, it is important to treat babies born blind soon if their condition is treatable.

Perceptual adaptation In vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field.

Perceptual set Past experiences, motives, contexts, or suggestions that prepare us to perceive in a certain way

Context effects We often discern the meaning of something by using the context in which it is placed. Importance of EXPECTATIONS

Below one’s absolute threshold for conscious awareness. Yes & No Slide studies showed some emotional reactivity (called priming a response). The effects are subtle and fleeting. Are subliminal ads effective?
