Turn ouer Essential Questions
How do the 5 senses receive and translate signals to the brain for processing? How
does each of the senses affect behavior? What are the limitations of each sense,
and how do these limitations affect behavior? How do sensation and
perception differ?
- -- How does the brain process sensory signals accurately? Inaccurately?
Cyclops one eye,
Zero deptn. perception Standards and terms SP1 Principles of sensory
transduction
Discuss basic principles of sensory transduction, including absolute threshold,
difference threshold, signal detection, and sensory adaptation; Explain the role of
top-down processing in producing vulnerability to illusion

SP2 Sensory process and common sensory disorders

Describe sensory processes (eg, hearing, vision, touch, taste, smell, vestibular,
kinesthesis, pain), including the specific nature of energy transduction, relevant
anatomical structures, and specialized pathways in the brain for each of the senses);
Explain common sensory disorders (eg, visual and hearing impairments) 14.

awareness of the external world (eg, Gestalt principles, depth perception);
- Challenge common beliefs in parapsychological phenomena 47. Gestalt

perceptual set, context effects); - Discuss the role of attention in
behavior 60. Perceptual set

or difference threshold (ST). 1.
A woman preparing for a trip to Mexico tries to learn Spanish using a
“Learn while you sleep" App.

A sentry on night duty notices a very soft noise and calls out for the thief to
"Halt!"

A father takes his children to the playground. During the night, a child starts to cry.
Without looking, the father can tell it is not his child's cry.

There is a sale in 5-pound prepacked russet potato bags. In order to make sure that you get
the most for your money, you pick up several to see which is the heaviest.

You help your friend look for her contact lens on the white kitchen floor.

A music group records the phrase “Buy our CD" backwards in one of their songs.

It is late at night and you are trying to go to bed without waking your roommate.
You want to find your favorite nightwear without turning on the light. After quietly
opening your dresser drawer, you reach in and try to pick it out of the other garments in the
drawer.
