Sensation
Sensory and nervous systems recieve stimuli from environment
Perception
Organizing and interpreting sensory information
Bottom-Up Processing
Focus on raw material
Top-Down Processing
Processing focuses on experiences and expectations
Absolute Threshold
Minimum stimulation to detect a stimulus
Difference Threshold
Minimum difference to be noticed
Signal Detection Theory
Formulas and Principles predicting when one will respond to a stimuli
Sensory Adaption
Diminished sensitivity as a result of constant stimulation (cold pool)
Selective Attention
Focusing on a particular stimulus (background noise)
Trichromatic Theory
Cones tuned to red, green, or blue and they mix according to amount of stimulus
Opponent-Process
opposite pairs cancel eachother (red-green, blue-yellow, black-white)
