psychology Test 2 4th period

Aria, Abigail, and Anika are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing the primary sensory systems in humans. Anika says that sight, sound, temperature, and taste are all primary sensory systems. Abigail disagrees with Anika and says one of them is not considered a primary sensory system. Which one is Abigail referring to?

• Sight

• Sound

• Temperature

• Taste

How does Grace's sensory system contribute to her behavior when she smells her favorite food, Charlotte's homemade pizza?

• By directly causing her to eat the pizza

• By passively receiving the smell of the pizza

• By solely relying on the smell of the pizza

• By processing her emotions towards the pizza

Which sensory system is responsible for perceiving auditory information?

• Olfactory system

• Vestibular system

• Auditory system

• Somatosensory system

Emma, Avery, and Mason were playing a game of tag. Emma accidentally tripped and felt a sharp pain in her knee. This pain served as a protective mechanism because:

• It was an enjoyable sensation for Emma

• It signaled potential harm or injury to Emma's knee

• It enhanced Emma's perception of the playground

• It helped Emma focus on irrelevant stimuli

During a science experiment, Abigail, Avery, and Samuel were given different items to identify using their senses. Samuel was given a rose. Which sensory experience is Samuel using when he identifies the rose?

• Hearing

• Smell

• Taste

• Touch

During a science experiment, Aria noticed a bright flash of light and heard a loud bang. This experience is an example of:

• The interpretation of sensory information

• The process of detecting external stimuli through sensory organs

• The organization of sensory information

• The act of paying attention to sensory input

What is the primary difference between sensing and perceiving?

• Sensing is unconscious, while perceiving is conscious

• Sensing is a passive process, while perceiving is active

• Sensing involves the brain, while perceiving does not

• Sensing and perceiving are synonymous terms

Rohan, Evelyn, and Priya are studying in a noisy cafeteria. How can the noise and other environmental cues affect their ability to accurately sense and perceive their textbooks?

• They have no impact on sensory processes

• They can enhance the accuracy of perception

• They can distract from sensory information

• They only affect sensation, not perception

During a science class, Daniel, Elijah, and Isla were learning about the human body. The teacher asked, 'What is the primary function of the vestibular system in our body that helps Elijah maintain balance while he is playing football?'

• To detect odors

• To maintain balance and spatial orientation

• To process visual information

• To control motor movements

Aiden, Benjamin, and Aria are in a noisy cafeteria. Aiden is trying to listen to Benjamin's story, but there are many other conversations happening around them. Aiden's ability to focus on Benjamin's story while ignoring the other conversations is an example of:

• Paying equal attention to all sensory input

• The ability to sense subtle stimuli

• Focusing on specific sensory information while filtering out other stimuli

• The inability to sense sensory input
