Myers Module 18 Quiz (Practice)

Kai, Avery, and Ava are studying the physics of light. They are trying to understand what determines the color of the light we see. Can you help them?

• The distance from one wave peak to the next

• The height of the wave from peak to trough

• The number of complete wavelengths that can pass a point in a given time

• The amount of energy in the wave

During a biology class experiment, Charlotte and Jackson were observing the eye structure of a rabbit. They noticed a part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil opening. Aria, who was also part of the group, was asked to name that part. What should Aria say?

• Cornea

• Iris

• Lens

• Retina

During a biology class, Maya, Isla, and Sophia were learning about the human eye. They learned that rods in the eye have a specific purpose. What is that purpose?

• To detect black, white, and gray

• To detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations

• To focus near or far objects on the retina

• To transmit neural impulses from the eye to the brain

Aria, Isla, and David are learning about the Young-Helmholtz trichromatic theory in their biology class. According to this theory, how many types of color receptors are there in the retina?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

Luna, Aiden, and Avery are discussing the opponent-process theory of color vision. What is this theory about?

• The theory that the retina contains three different types of color receptors

• The theory that opposing retinal processes enable color vision

• The theory that the brain processes color information in parallel

• The theory that color perception is based on the wavelength of light

During a neuroscience class, Grace, Mia, and Elijah were discussing the location of feature detectors in the brain. Which part of the brain did they conclude contains feature detectors?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

During a basketball game, Olivia, Evelyn, and Daniel noticed that their coach was simultaneously observing the players, the ball, and the opponent's strategy. What is this process by which the brain does many things at once to analyze a visual scene called?

• Parallel processing

• Serial processing

• Sequential processing

• Concurrent processing

During a school trip to a science museum, Scarlett, Daniel, and Oliver were learning about the human brain. They came across an exhibit that talked about different brain areas and their functions. They learned that one particular area is responsible for face recognition. Which brain area were they learning about?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

What is the phenomenon called when people with damaged visual cortex can still guess the orientation of objects correctly?

• Blindsight

• Colorblindness

• Visual agnosia

• Prosopagnosia

During a science class, Michael, Avery, and Liam were discussing the brain's ability to combine multiple sensory inputs into a single perception. What is the term for this phenomenon?

• Parallel processing

• Serial processing

• Binding problem

• Feature detection
