AP Unit 4 Test Round 1 Up to ESP

The rods and cones absorb the light and help transmit the information to the brain. This process best illustrates

• sensation.
•  top-down processing. 
• perception.
•  selective attention.

Higher-level cells process and interpret the information to consciously recognize objects. This process best illustrates

• sensation.

• bottom-up processing.

• perception.

• selective attention.

Our experiences, assumptions, and expectations may give us a perceptual set that influences what we perceive. This is an example of    /

• bottom-up processing.
• accommodation.
• sensory adaption.
•  top-down processing.

Trying to see a hidden representational image in a piece of abstract art by looking carefully at each element in the picture and trying to form an image employs which kind of perceptual process?

• selective attention

• interposition

• perceptual adaptation

• bottom-up processing

Because he was listening to the game on the radio, Mr. Schultz didn't perceive a word his was saying. Her experience best illustrates

• gate-control theory.

• choice blindness.

• gestalt.

• selective attention.

The ability to pay attention to only one voice at a time is called

• gestalt.

• change blindness.

• the cocktail party effect.

• frequency.

The event in which an individual fails to perceive an unexpected stimulus that is in plain sight.

• opponent-process theory.
• inattentional blindness. 
• change blindness.
• choice blindness

When Jason briefly turned to summon the waiter, his wife quickly switched her glass of orange soda with his glass of grape soda. Jason's failure to notice that his chosen soda had been replaced best illustrates

• choice blindness

• sensory interaction.

• inattentional blindness.

• change blindness.

Research participants picked one of two photographed faces as more attractive. When researchers cleverly switched the photos, participants readily explained why they preferred the face they had actually rejected. Their behavior illustrated

• blind spot

• inattentional blindness.

• change blindness.

• choice blindness

The process by which our sensory systems convert stimulus energies into neural messages is called 

•  transduction.
• parallel processing.
• sensory adaptation.
• priming.
