Sensation A SENSATION occurs when a stimulus
activates a receptor A STIMULUS is a change in the
environment an organism responds to Sense organs detect stimuli
Eyes, ears, tongue, nose, skin Sensory information also tells the location
on the body
![Page 5: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Perception PERCEPTION: organization of sensory
information into a meaningful experience Uses past experiences and various
sensations PSYCHOPHYSICS: looks to understand
how stimuli affect sensory experiences Much of the world is undetectable to our
human senses
![Page 6: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Understanding Stimuli Limits What is needed for a stimulus to trigger
a response from the human body? ABSOLUTE THRESHOLD: weakest amount
of a stimulus needed to create a sensation Vision: seeing a candle flame 30 miles
away Hearing: hear a watch tick 20 feet away Taste: 1 tsp of sugar in 2 gallons of water Smell: 1 drop of perfume in a 3 room house Touch: feel a bee’s wing fall 1 cm onto your
cheek
![Page 7: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Differences in Stimuli DIFFERENCE THRESHOLD: smallest
change in a physical stimulus that can be detected Eye exams, INTENSITY of stimuli
Just Noticeable Difference: smallest increase/decrease in the intensity of a stimulus Depends on the changes in the stimulus
![Page 8: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Weber’s Law **Larger/stronger the stimulus, the
larger the change is needed for a person to notice any difference
Those who are able to tell subtle differences in stimuli are used as tasters, testers, experts
![Page 9: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sensory Adaptation Senses most responsive to increases and
decreases Able to detect changes in environment instead of
an ongoing, constant stimulus Without sensory adaptation, senses would be
bombarded all the time These changes in stimuli allow us to react
properly
Example: if you spend time in 0* temperatures, you will start to think that 10* is warm
![Page 10: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sensory Deprivation Occurs when you LOSE or UNABLE to use
one of your senses
When would be times that sensory deprivation occurs?

Signal Detection Theory Studies relation between motivation,
sensitivity, and decision making in detecting the presence (or absence) of stimuli
Recognize a stimulus (signal) against competing stimuli Tosses out idea of absolute thresholds Preattentive process
Extract information AUTOMATICALLY Attentive process
Considers only one part of a stimulus at a time

THE SENSESSection 8.2 p. 214-222
![Page 16: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Light Spectrum
![Page 17: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vision (p. 215-218) Most studied of all senses Steps to vision:
1. Light enters through the PUPIL (regulates amt of light)
2. Light reaches LENS (flexible structure that focuses light onto the RETINA
3. Light hits RODS & CONES (light receptive photoreceptors, change light into neuronal impulses)
4. Impulse travels along OPTIC NERVE where the signal is received at the occipital lobe
![Page 18: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Human Eye
![Page 19: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rods and Cones (functions) Rods
Sensitive at lower levels of light Useful for night-vision More numerous than cones (~75-150
million) Cones
Better for daylight use (need more light to respond)
~6-7 million Cones Sensitive to COLOR
![Page 20: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The Blind Spot Where the optic
nerve exits the eye
No photoreceptors to process the image into an impulse to be sent to the brain
![Page 22: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Binocular Vision Combining two images into a single
image Retinal Disparity
Difference in the image seen from each eye Necessary for depth perception
Large difference between what each eye sees means the object is near
![Page 23: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Just because you do not want to learn does not mean you can be rude and disrespectful for those that want to pay attention or to me.
Feel free to waste your own time, but make sure it only affects you. You want an “easy semester” but are currently pissing me off.
Journal 5: Why do “people” feel entitled to get what they want when their actions are deserving of the opposite treatment? (10 sent)
Bring your books this week. You will be teaching the class. (graded assignment)

Nearsighted and Farsighted Nearsighted
Eyeball is a little longer Focusing point is slightly in front of the
retina Able to see close items, distant objects are
blurry Farsighted
Eyeball is too short Objects are focused slightly behind the
retina Close items are blurry, distant objects are
sharp

Eye Disorders Macular degeneration
Most common in older adults Retina becomes detached Difficult to read, recognize faces
Glaucoma Comes from increased fluid pressure in the
eye Pressure causes damage to the optic nerve Can cause blindness if untreated

Color Deficiency Improper functioning of cones Able to see SOME colors Typically inherited trait from the
mother’s side Most common is red/green deficiency
Less common is yellow/blue

the cornea2. Use a laser to re-
shape the tissue of the cornea
3. Replace flap; naturally heals

Journal of the Day What songs or sounds “pump you up” or
get you energetic? Why do you think these sounds have an affect on you? (10 sent)
![Page 31: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
HEARING & TOUCHp. 218-219, 221-222
![Page 32: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You Can’t Have Sound Without Vibration
Loudness measured in DECIBELS (dB) by amplitude (height) of sound wave
Range: 0-140 PITCH: frequency/rate of
vibration Low frequency= bass High frequency= squeaks
Limit: 85 db for 8 hrs. Each increase in 10 dB
makes sound 10 times louder
![Page 33: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Process of Hearing1. A)Outer ear receives sound waves, B)sends the
sound to the auditory canal, C)causing eardrum to vibrate
2. Bones of the middle ear (hammer, anvil, stirrup) vibrate and push against the COCHLEA (where sound waves are translated into nerve impulses)
3. Pressure against the cochlea causes liquid inside the cochlea to move, causing small hairs to pick up the motion
4. Tiny hairs are attached to sensory cells which turn the vibration into neuronal impulses (signals)
5. Auditory nerve carries impulse to brain
![Page 34: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Signs of Hearing Loss Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, hissing in the
ear Muffled hearing Fluid leaking from the ear Watching/listening to TV/music at a
higher volume than once used to Pain, itching, irritation in the ear Difficulty distinguishing what people are
saying
![Page 36: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hearing Problems Conduction deafness
Physical movement of outer ear or middle ear bones are unable to carry sounds further into the ear
Typical hearing aids provide assistance Sensorineural deafness
Damage to the cochlea, hair cells, or auditory neurons
Aided by a surgically implanted cochlear implant
1 in 5 teenagers have some sort of hearing loss
![Page 37: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Touch Skin is the largest organ of the body Receptors tells the brain about the
environment Mechanoreceptors: Relate to PRESSURE Thermoreceptors: found most abundantly in
face/ears Warmth: after 113* F pain receptors take over Cold: stop working once the skin temp hits 41*
F Nocireceptor: Pain
Sensations on the skin serve as an early detection and protection system against potential harm
![Page 39: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Pain (is Temporary) Pain can be the result from numerous
stimuli Can affect a number of sense organs
Localized pain Sharp, occurs immediately as injury
happens General pain
Throbbing, dull pain occurs after the injury happens
Gate Control Theory Lesson pain by shifting attention away from
pain impulse or send other signals to compete with impulse

Smell One of the chemical senses Smell molecules reach a membrane
where the smell receptors are located Receptors send message through the
olfactory nerve to the brain
![Page 44: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Taste Second chemical sense Uses liquid chemicals
to stimulate taste buds Also sends information
about texture and temperature
Taste made up of: Sour Salty Bitter Sweet Savory/Umami
Flavor made up of smell, taste, and tactile (pressure) sensations
As you get older, sense of taste doesn’t change, but rather sense of smell deteriorates
“Supertasters” have twice as many taste buds as normal individuals
Taste and smell are more “pleasure” senses than vital senses in humans
![Page 46: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Vestibular System Regulates the
body’s sense of balance
Located within the inner ear (the three semicircular canals)
Elicits a response by spinning, falling, and tilting the body or head
![Page 48: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Kinesthesis Sense of movement and
body position Works in conjunction with
vestibular and visual senses Maintain balance and posture Uses receptors in muscles,
tendons, and joints to make smooth, coordinated movements

Importance of Perception Confront changes in environment, adapt
to change Comprehend numerous stimuli that
attack the senses Learn to perceive starting at 1 month old
Influenced by our needs, beliefs, experiences
Perceptual set: see what you want to see Uses bits of information to create larger
picture and make sense of the world Gestalt (“pattern,” “form”)
![Page 52: Journal](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568166c5550346895ddad31f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Ideas of Gestalt Closure: Group based on completed figures
instead of missing parts Continuity: See continuous patterns Proximity: Group elements that are close to
each other Similarity: in a mixed group, see similar
objects as group Simplicity: Perceive pattern in simplest
shapes possible

Subliminal Perception Ability to notice stimuli that only affect
the unconscious mind Auditory or visual messages below the
absolute threshold that are perceived less than 50%
Originated via advertising/marketing

Depth Perception Ability to recognize distance and 3D Monocular Depth cues
Used with a single eye Relative height: objects farther away
appear higher Interposition: with overlapping images,
whole object appears closer Texture-density gradient: less detail further
away Binocular Depth cues
Used with both eyes Convergence: eyes turn inward to look at
nearby objects
