Answer Stats

Hint	Answer	% Correct
light enters through it	pupil	100%
membrane that sits at the back of the eye	retina	100%
the processing of information that is entirely driven by the environment	bottom-up processing	67%
our attention is involuntarily drawn towards the source of our spoken name	cocktail party effect	67%
responsible for high light volume, sees coloour - shorter, thicker, cone-shaped (day)	cones	67%
a transparent membrane that seats at the very front of the eye	cornea	67%
more light, less pupil size	iris	67%
similar to cornea, but only carries one of the function: bends the light	lens	67%
responsible for low light, can't see colour - longer, cylindrical (night)	rods	67%
if objects are similar, we perceive them as a forming a pattern - gestalt	similarity	67%
the processing of information that is entirely driven by internal processes (e.g., goals, experience, prior knowledge)	top-down processing	67%
attention involuntarily selects a stimulus	attention capture	33%
after time and consistency, attention will learn to suppress distracting features	attention suppression	33%
neurons that transfer information from photoreceptors to ganglion cells	bipolar cells	33%
the process of resting for visual pigments	bleaching	33%
no photoreceptors here	blind spot/optic disk	33%
absorbs excess light, disallowing it to mess with our sight	choroid	33%
if a group of objects vaguely represent something familiar, we will see it as the familiar object - gestalt	closure	33%
If objects are enclosed in a space, they will be perceived as a pattern - gestalt	common region	33%
when objects are presented in a way which might suggest a line they will be observed as one - gestalt	continuity	33%
sensitivity to light increases as you spend more time in the dark	dark adaptation	33%
we perceive objects in the background or foreground	figure-ground	33%
sits at the centre most of the eye	fovea centralis	33%
neurons that transmit information from bipolar cells to the brain	ganglion cells	33%
process o when the shape of retinal changes (curved to straight)	isomerization	33%
the brain’s interpretation of raw sensory inputs; touching arm	perception	33%
located at the back of the retina	photoreceptors	33%
if objects are close together, they will be perceived as a pattern - gestalt	proximity	33%
a type of visual pigment found in rods - can only see black and white	rhodopsin	33%
the process of focusing attention while also ignoring background information	selective attention	33%
detection of physical energy or environmental energy by sense organs; pressure or a change of pressure	sensation	33%
convert environmental energy into neural activity with sensory receptors	transduction	33%
electromagnetic radiation	vision as light	33%
describe how environmental information is converted into neural activity	vision as sensation	33%
