Question

chapter 04 quiz: sensation and perception
total points: --/20
attempts left:

  1. the theory of color perception that is based on the idea that the eye has three different types of receptors which blend to create color mixing is called the:

trichromatic theory
opponent process theory
peripheral theory
cone and rod theory

  1. imani is watching an exciting drama about ancient rome and halfway through the movie a car drives by in the background. she doesnt notice the discrepancy until her roommate points it out when they watch it together. what type of visual form perception causes imani to miss such an obvious error in the movie?

inattentional blindness

    inattentional blindness
    gestalt principle
    phi phenomenon
    reversible figure

  2. Brief Explanations
    1. For the first question: The trichromatic theory posits that the human eye has three types of color receptors (cones) that respond to different wavelengths of light, and their combined stimulation creates the perception of all colors, matching the description provided.
    2. For the second question: Inattentional blindness refers to the failure to notice an unexpected stimulus when attention is focused on another task or stimulus, which aligns with Imani missing the car while focused on the movie.
  3. Final answer
    1. Trichromatic theory
    2. Inattentional blindness
