AP Psych: Parts of the Eye & Vision Theory

In the human eye, rods are to _________, as cones are to ________.

• light/ color

• color/ light

• monochromat/ dichromat

• dichromat/ monochromat

• lens/ iris

The phenomenon of color constancy best demonstrates that...

• an object's perceived color is influenced by its surrounding objects

• the retina has three types of color receptors

• the brain processes information about color and shape simultaneously

• quivering eye movements help to maintain the perception of color

• color vision depends on pairs of opposing retinal processes

What color afterimage would occur after viewing the color blue?

• blue

• red

• yellow

• green

• white

What is the first part of the eye that light hits?

• lens

• cornea

• pupil

• retina

• iris

Bob loves to play Grand theft Auto and he loves how real it looks especially when drives under a tunnel. What type of cues are used to make the video game seem so real?

• binocular depth cues
• cones
• monocular depth cues 
• rods 

  The process by which sensory information is converted into neural energy is:

• Sensory adaptation
• Feature detection
• Signal detection
• Transduction

The size of the pupil is controlled by the:

• Lens
• Retina
• Cornea
• Iris

What is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick seccession?

• relative motion
• depth perception
• binocular cues
• phi phenomenon

What helps detect black, white, and gray. Necessary for twilight vision?

• pupil
• cones
• fovea
• rods

The eye’s “blind spot” is related to:

• light rays focusing too far in front of the retina.
• light rays focusing too far behind the retina.
• a cluster of cells around the fovea which contains cones, but no rods.
• an area without receptor cells where the optic nerve leaves the eye.
