217 Types of Files Teacher Information This presentation has been saved as a basic Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this Teacher Information section.

218 Teacher Information Unit Coding Just as Myers Psychology for AP 2e is color coded to the College Board AP Psychology Course Description (Acorn Book) Units, so are these Powerpoints. The primary background color of each slide indicates the specific textbook unit. Psychology s History and Approaches Research Methods Biological Bases of Behavior Sensation and Perception States of Consciousness Learning Cognition Motivation, Emotion, and Stress Developmental Psychology Personality Testing and Individual Differences Abnormal Psychology Treatment of Abnormal Behavior Social Psychology

219 Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - This presentation contain two types of hyperlinks. Hyperlinks can be identified by the text being underlined and a different color (usually purple). Unit subsections hyperlinks: Immediately after the unit title and module title slide, a page can be found listing all of the unit s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. Bold print term hyperlinks: Every bold print term from the unit is included in this presentation as a hyperlink. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of the hyperlinks will take the user to a slide containing the formal definition of the term. Clicking on the arrow in the bottom left corner of the definition slide will take the user back to the original point in the presentation. These hyperlinks were included for teachers who want students to see or copy down the exact definition as stated in the text. Most teachers prefer the definitions not be included to prevent students from only copying down what is on the screen and not actively listening to the presentation. For teachers who continually use the Bold Print Term Hyperlinks option, please contact the author using the address on the next slide to learn a technique to expedite the returning to the original point in the presentation.

220 Teacher Information Continuity slides Throughout this presentation there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about what might come next in the series of slides. Please feel free to contact me at with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. regarding these presentations. Kent Korek Germantown High School Germantown, WI

224 Definition Slides

225 Sensation = the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.

226 Perception = the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.

227 Bottom-Up Processing = analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain s integration of sensory information.

228 Top-Down Processing = information processing guided by higherlevel mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations.

229 Selective Attention = the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus.

230 Inattentional Blindness = failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere.

231 Change Blindness = failing to notice changes in the environment

232 Transduction = conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brains can interpret.

233 Psychophysics = the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.

234 Absolute Threshold = the minimum stimulation necessary to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time.

235 Signal Detection Theory = a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise). Assumes there is no single absolute threshold and that detection depends partly on a person s experience, expectations, motivation, and alertness.

236 Subliminal = below one s absolute threshold for conscious awareness.

237 Priming = the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one s perception, memory, or response.

238 Difference Threshold = the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50 percent of the time. We experience the difference threshold as a just noticeable difference (jnd).

239 Weber s Law = the principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage (rather than a constant amount).

240 Sensory Adaptation = diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.

241 Perceptual Set = a mental disposition to perceive one thing and not another.

242 Extrasensory Perception (ESP) = the controversial claim that perception can occur apart from sensory input; includes telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition.

243 Parapsychology = the study of paranormal phenomena, including ESP and psychokinesis.

244 Wavelength = the distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak of the next. Electromagnetic wavelengths vary from the short blips of comic rays to the long pulses of radio transmission.

245 Hue = the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light; what we know as the color names blue, green, and so forth.

246 Intensity = the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness, as determined by the wave s amplitude.

247 Pupil = the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which lights enters.

248 Iris = a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening.

249 Lens = the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus the images on the retina.

250 Retina = the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye, containing the receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the processing of visual information.

251 Accommodation = the process by which the eye s lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina.

252 Rods = retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don t respond.

253 Cones = retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. The cones detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations.

254 Optic Nerve = the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain.

255 Blind Spot = the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a blind spot because no receptor cells are located there.

256 Fovea = the central focal point in the retina, around the which the eye s cones cluster.

257 Feature Detectors = nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.

258 Parallel Processing = the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain s natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision. Contrasts with the step-by-step (serial) processing of most computers and of conscious problem solving.

259 Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic (three-color) Theory = the theory that the retina contains three different color receptors one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue which, when stimulated in combination can produce the perception of any color.

260 Opponent-Process Theory = the theory that opposing retinal processes (red-green, yellow-blue, white-black) enable color vision. For example, some cells are stimulated by green and inhibited by red; others are stimulated by red and inhibited by green.

261 Gestalt = an organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes.

262 Figure-Ground = the organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground).

263 Grouping = the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.

264 Depth Perception = the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance.

265 Visual Cliff = a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.

266 Binocular Cues = depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes.

267 Retinal Disparity = a binocular cue for perceiving depth. By comparing images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object.

268 Monocular Cues = depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.

269 Phi Phenomenon = an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession.

270 Perceptual Constancy = perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent shapes, size, lightness, and color) even as illumination and retinal images change.

271 Color Constancy = perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.

272 Perceptual Adaptation = in vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field.

273 Audition = the sense or act of hearing.

274 Frequency = the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time (i.e. per second).

275 Pitch = a tone s experienced highness or lowness; depends on frequency.

276 Middle Ear = the chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea s oval window.

277 Cochlea = a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through the cochlea trigger nerve impulses.

278 Inner Ear = the innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs.

279 Sensorineural Hearing Loss = hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea s receptor cells or to the auditory nerves; also called nerve deafness.

280 Conduction Hearing Loss = hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea.

281 Cochlea Implant = a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea.

282 Place Theory = in hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea s membrane is stimulated.

283 Frequency Theory = in hearing, the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch.

284 Gate-Control Theory = the theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological gate that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain. The gate is opened by the activity of pain signals traveling up small nerve fibers and is close by activity in larger fibers or by information coming from the brain.

285 Kinethesia = the system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts.

286 Vestibular Sense = the sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance.

287 Sensory Interaction = the principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.

288 Embodied Cognition = in psychological science, the influence of bodily sensations, gestures, and other states of cognitive preferences and judgments.
