Explanation:
1. Proximity, continuation, and common fate is directly related to how we tend to see things as being related to each other i.e perception of things or physical objects.
2. The cochlea refers to the part of our inner ear that’s responsible for transmitting auditory signals to the brain. It is also referred to as labyrinth and it transforms the vibrations of the cochlear liquids found in neural messages into a neural signal.
3. The unit of measurement used for sound is the decibel (dB). Thus, it typically measures the intensity of a sound; the louder the sound, the higher is the decibel level.
4. According to gate-control theory, pain impulses from a stubbed toe might be partly blocked by the sensory impulses generated by rubbing the foot. Thus, the nerve gates are closed to painful input due to a non-painful input and consequently preventing pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system (CNS) of the brain.
5. The faintest sound you can hear is called your hearing threshold.
6. According to the Gestalt principle of perceptual organization, we tend to connect separated but adjacent stimuli as flowing smoothly together.
7. We find three different kinds of neurons in the skin. They register temperature, pressure (touch), and pain.
8. Our eyes gather light information, but our brain actually does the seeing.
9. For the sense of hearing, pitch is related to frequency and amplitude is related to loudness. Thus, the frequency of a sound wave dictates the pitch of a sound while the amplitude of a sound wave dictates the loudness of a sound.
10. The amount of light entering the eye is regulated by the widening and contraction of the pupil.
