À propos de ce fichier

This flashcard set introduces primary school students to the fascinating world of psychology, focusing on the senses and perception. It explores how we perceive light, color, and shape through our eyes, and how our ears process sound. The set also delves into the science behind touch, taste, and smell, explaining how receptors and nerve fibers play crucial roles. Additionally, it covers the concept of sensory adaptation and the influence of context and emotions on our perception. This flashcard set is ideal for young learners eager to understand how their senses work and how they interpret the world around them.

where are nociceptors located

in small nerve fibers, send signals to the spinal cord, then to the brain

what does the brain do to distract during painful moments/endorphins

sends messages back to the spinal cord and block pain signals

when chemical of the thing we are smelling attach to receptors at the top of the nasal cavity

how many different odors can we detect

10k

how many odor receptors do we have

350

smell becomes associated with what

memories

where is smell processed

temporal lobe

understanding where you are in space

kinesthetics

how does kinesthetics work

sensors all over the body

seeing and hearing are vital for what

to be able to move your body according to the space you are in

receptors in semicircular canals in the cochlea, filled with fluid

types of info processing

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

bottom-up

top-down

transduction

bottom-up processing responds to

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

sensation

top-down processing is

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

perception

necessare in order to convert the physical reality outside of your body into a signal inside of your body

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

transduction

sensation offers a blueprint by means of transduction onto which perception builds

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

sensation offers a blueprint by means of transduction onto which perception builds

thresholds

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

absolute

difference

threshold: you can detect this stimulus 50% of the time

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

absolute

threshold: minimum diff that enables you to identify one stimulus from another

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

difference

example of difference threshold

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

the point at which you can say one lightbulb is brighter than another

when you can identify w a familiar voice versus an unfamiliar voice

subliminal processing

Commandes clavier:

= tourner,

= avant/arrière,

= faire défiler

below absolute threshold - less than 50% of the time

example of subliminal processing

billboards

exposure to a stimulus below conscious awareness that can bias your consequent decision/action

prime

priming w secure attachment >>> =

better mood, openness

less awareness bc of decrease in nerve cell firing

sensory adaptation

eyes constantly moving just a little bit, continuous stimulation of receptors

visual adaptation

example of sensory adaptation

having a constant image in front of you, you would only see it blurry, in fragments

habits, tendencies, immediate experience that influences our sensation

perceptual set

this affects how we see/hear/feel/taste

perceptual set

example of perceptual set

nice package actually makes you feel better about purchasing something

NOTE: emotions can bias perception
