The electromagnetic spectrum describes all of the kinds of light, including those the human eye cannot see. What is the visible spectrum for humans?

• 400-700nm

• 350-800nm

• 400-750nm

• 410-700nm

Which part of the eye consists solely of cones?

• Cornea

• Fovea

• Pupil

• Optic disk

Signals from the retina travel through the optic nerve to the LGN, then to the primary visual receiving area in the striate cortex. Following that, the signal travels to the _ and _.

• temporal lobe; occipital lobe

• temporal lobe; frontal lobe

• temporal lobe; parietal lobe

• parietal lobe; occipital lobe

Ungerleider and Mishkin (1982) used a technique to determine the function of a particular area of the brain. What is this technique called?

• Ablation

• Brain imaging

• Striped tub

• Subtraction

For top-down processing, your brain will be reliant on

• Sensory receptors to register info

• Cognitive processing of incoming data

• Cognitive processing at a higher level

• Sensory receptors to register previous information

Gestalt's Principles are often used when describing object perception. Which describes the principle of similarity?

• our tendency to complete an incomplete shape in order to rationalize the whole.

• human nature to group like things together. In this principle, similar elements are visually grouped by colour, shape, or size.

• the human eye will follow the smoothest path when viewing lines, regardless of how the lines were actually drawn.

• there is a tendency to group elements which do not actually touch each other in a composition

What is the key difference between the Occipital Face Area (OFA) and the Fusiform Face Area (FFA)?

• OFA is more involved in higher-level face processing

• FFA is more involved in general face perception

• FFA is more involved in higher-level face processing

• OFA is more involved in general face perception

Saturation refers to

• The wavelength of light being reflected or produced

• The percentage of intensity

• How intense a given hue is

• The amount of black or white mixed in with the colour

What evidence supports the Trichromatic Theory of Colour Vision?

• Afterimages

• Colour-matching experiments

• Ishihara plates

• Ablation

What is the key difference between the Trichromatic Theory of Colour Vision versus the Opponent-Process Theory?

• The Trichromatic Theory is based on the receptor level, whilst the Opponent-Process Theory is based on the neural level

• The Trichromatic Theory is based on the neural level, whilst the Opponent-Process Theory is based on the receptor level

• The Trichromatic Theory is based on the presence of rods, whilst the Opponent-Process Theory is based on the presence of cones

• The Trichromatic Theory is based on neural level, whilst the Opponent-Process Theory is based on the fovea level
