Neema is training to be a research assistant at a nature preserve. Part of the training involves identifying the color of migrating butterflies’ wings. However, Neema has recently sustained damage to her fovea. Which of the following would predict that she will likely struggle with the training?

• Selective attention

• Schema

• Trichromatic theory

• Gestalt theory

Jackson paints an American flag using the colors green, yellow, and black instead of red, white, and blue. When people stare at the flag he painted for a period of time, they can see the correctly colored flag in their field of vision for a brief period of time. This phenomenon of negative afterimages is best explained by which of the following theories?

• the trichromatic theory

• bottom-up processing theory

• the opponent-process theory

• light-dark adaptation theory

MacKeller looks at the blooming cherry trees on a visit to Washington, DC's National Cherry Blossom Festival. Which of the following refers to the transformation of the visual image of the cherry trees into neural impulses that are perceived by the brain?

• Perception

• Bottom-up processing

• Top-down processing

• Transduction

Which of the following is the best example of the opponent process theory?

• Fred stares at a green book for a minute, and then when he looks at a white page, he sees the color red.

• The more time Stanley spends in the dark, the better he can see in the dark.

• Esther can see all the colors of the leaves during the autumn.

• When it gets brighter outside, Tyronne's pupils dilate.

Which of the following phenomena can the opponent-process theory of color vision explain that the trichromatic theory cannot?

• The presence of the blind spot

• The detection of white light

• Light and dark adaptation

• Negative afterimages

Evidence for the opponent-process theory of color vision is provided by the fact that

• it takes several minutes for the eyes to fully adapt to darkness

• there are three different types of cones in the retinas

• the eyes perceive visual illusions, such as the Müller-Lyer illusion

• the eyes see negative afterimages after staring at saturated colors for several minutes

The perceived pitch of a tone is largely determined by its

• loudness

• timbre

• amplitude

• frequency

Hyrum is at a concert when a flute player hits a very high note at the end of a song. Which of the following best explains why the pitch of the note sounds so high?

• It has a long wavelength and high frequency.

• It has a short wavelength and high frequency.

• It has a long wavelength and low frequency.

• It has a large amplitude.

Julia is practicing her trumpet and produces a loud sound. Which of the following is the best explanation for the loudness of the sound?

• The sound has a long wavelength.

• The sound has a short wavelength.

• The sound has a high-amplitude sound wave.

• The sound has a low-amplitude sound wave.

Janna is an artist and likes using bright, pastel colors in her art. Which of the following refers to the photoreceptors responsible for color vision?

• Rods

• Cones

• Optic nerves

• Hues
