Sensation
A SENSATION occurs when a stimulus activates a receptor
A STIMULUS is a change in the environment an organism responds to
Sense organs detect stimuli Eyes, ears, tongue, nose, skin Sensory information also tells the location
on the body
![Page 5: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Perception
PERCEPTION: organization of sensory information into a meaningful experience
Uses past experiences and various sensations
PSYCHOPHYSICS: looks to understand how stimuli affect sensory experiences
Much of the world is undetectable to our human senses
![Page 6: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Understanding Stimuli Limits What is needed for a stimulus to trigger
a response from the human body? ABSOLUTE THRESHOLD: weakest amount
of a stimulus needed to create a sensation Vision: seeing a candle flame 30 miles
away Hearing: hear a watch tick 20 feet away Taste: 1 tsp of sugar in 2 gallons of water Smell: 1 drop of perfume in a 3 room house Touch: feel a bee’s wing fall 1 cm onto your
cheek
![Page 7: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Differences in Stimuli
DIFFERENCE THRESHOLD: smallest change in a physical stimulus that can be detected Eye exams, INTENSITY of stimuli
Just Noticeable Difference: smallest increase/decrease in the intensity of a stimulus Depends on the changes in the stimulus
![Page 8: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Weber’s Law
**Larger/stronger the stimulus, the larger the change is needed for a person to notice any difference
Those who are able to tell subtle differences in stimuli are used as tasters, testers, experts
![Page 9: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sensory Adaptation
Senses most responsive to increases and decreases
Able to detect changes in environment instead of an ongoing, constant stimulus
Without sensory adaptation, senses would be bombarded all the time
These changes in stimuli allow us to react properly
Example: if you spend time in 0* temperatures, you will start to think that 10* is warm
![Page 10: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sensory Deprivation
Occurs when you LOSE or UNABLE to use one of your senses
When would be times that sensory deprivation occurs?

Signal Detection Theory
Studies relation between motivation, sensitivity, and decision making in detecting the presence (or absence) of stimuli
Recognize a stimulus (signal) against competing stimuli Tosses out idea of absolute thresholds Preattentive process
Extract information AUTOMATICALLY Attentive process
Considers only one part of a stimulus at a time

THE SENSES
Section 8.2 p. 214-222
![Page 16: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Vision (p. 215-218)
Most studied of all senses Steps to vision:
1. Light enters through the PUPIL (regulates amt of light)
2. Light reaches LENS (flexible structure that focuses light onto the RETINA
3. Light hits RODS & CONES (light receptive photoreceptors, change light into neuronal impulses)
4. Impulse travels along OPTIC NERVE where the signal is received at the occipital lobe
![Page 18: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Rods and Cones (functions)
Rods Sensitive at lower levels of light Useful for night-vision More numerous than cones (~75-150
million) Cones
Better for daylight use (need more light to respond)
~6-7 million Cones Sensitive to COLOR

The Blind Spot
Where the optic nerve exits the eye
No photoreceptors to process the image into an impulse to be sent to the brain
![Page 22: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Binocular Vision
Combining two images into a single image
Retinal Disparity Difference in the image seen from each eye Necessary for depth perception
Large difference between what each eye sees means the object is near

Just because you do not want to learn does not mean you can be rude and disrespectful for those that want to pay attention or to me.
Feel free to waste your own time, but make sure it only affects you. You want an “easy semester” but are currently pissing me off.

Nearsighted and Farsighted
Nearsighted Eyeball is a little longer Focusing point is slightly in front of the
retina Able to see close items, distant objects are
blurry Farsighted

HEARING & TOUCH

You Can’t Have Sound Without Vibration
Loudness measured in DECIBELS (dB) by amplitude (height) of sound wave
Range: 0-140 PITCH: frequency/rate of
vibration Low frequency= bass High frequency= squeaks
Limit: 85 db for 8 hrs. Each increase in 10 dB
makes sound 10 times louder
![Page 33: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Process of Hearing
1. A)Outer ear receives sound waves, B)sends the sound to the auditory canal, C)causing eardrum to vibrate
2. Bones of the middle ear (hammer, anvil, stirrup) vibrate and push against the COCHLEA (where sound waves are translated into nerve impulses)
3. Pressure against the cochlea causes liquid inside the cochlea to move, causing small hairs to pick up the motion
4. Tiny hairs are attached to sensory cells which turn the vibration into neuronal impulses (signals)
5. Auditory nerve carries impulse to brain

Signs of Hearing Loss
Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, hissing in the ear
Muffled hearing Fluid leaking from the ear Watching/listening to TV/music at a
higher volume than once used to Pain, itching, irritation in the ear Difficulty distinguishing what people are
saying
![Page 36: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hearing Problems
Conduction deafness Physical movement of outer ear or middle
ear bones are unable to carry sounds further into the ear
Typical hearing aids provide assistance Sensorineural deafness
Damage to the cochlea, hair cells, or auditory neurons
Aided by a surgically implanted cochlear implant
1 in 5 teenagers have some sort of hearing loss

Touch
Skin is the largest organ of the body Receptors tells the brain about the
environment Mechanoreceptors: Relate to PRESSURE Thermoreceptors: found most abundantly in
face/ears Warmth: after 113* F pain receptors take over Cold: stop working once the skin temp hits 41*
F Nocireceptor: Pain
Sensations on the skin serve as an early detection and protection system against potential harm

Pain (is Temporary)
Pain can be the result from numerous stimuli Can affect a number of sense organs
Localized pain Sharp, occurs immediately as injury
happens General pain
Throbbing, dull pain occurs after the injury happens
Gate Control Theory Lesson pain by shifting attention away from
pain impulse or send other signals to compete with impulse

Smell
One of the chemical senses Smell molecules reach a membrane
where the smell receptors are located Receptors send message through the
olfactory nerve to the brain
![Page 44: Journal What is your most & least powerful senses? (10 sentences)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e035503460f94aef322/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Taste
Second chemical sense Uses liquid chemicals
to stimulate taste buds Also sends information
about texture and temperature
Taste made up of: Sour Salty Bitter Sweet Savory/Umami
Flavor made up of smell, taste, and tactile (pressure) sensations
As you get older, sense of taste doesn’t change, but rather sense of smell deteriorates
“Supertasters” have twice as many taste buds as normal individuals
Taste and smell are more “pleasure” senses than vital senses in humans

each other Similarity: in a mixed group, see similar
objects as group Simplicity: Perceive pattern in simplest
shapes possible
