Sensation And Perception

Front 1

sensation occurs when

Back 1

special receptors in the sense organs are activated, allowing various forms of outside stimuli to become neural signals in the brain

Back 9

just noticeable differences

Front 10

sensory adaptation

Back 10

the process by which constant, unchanging information from the sensory receptors is effectively ignored

Front 18

The two kinds of receptor cells in the retina are called either
