Question

13 multiple choice 1 point
the transformation of light waves that have contacted the retina causing the light wave to be transformed into action potential is an example of which of the following?
transduction
nociception
sensory adaptation
perception

14 multiple choice 1 point
we can perceive the overall shape of a figure, like a square, even if parts of it are missing. what gestalt concept explains this?
proximity
figure-ground
similarity
closure

Explanation:

Analyze Question 13

The question asks about the process where light waves contacting the retina are converted into neural signals, specifically an Action Potential. In the study of Sensation and Perception, this conversion of physical energy (like light waves) into electrical signals that the brain can interpret is known as transduction.

Analyze Question 14

The question asks which Gestalt concept explains our ability to perceive a complete shape (like a square) even when parts of it are missing. The Gestalt principle of closure states that the brain tends to fill in gaps to perceive a complete, whole object rather than disconnected lines or shapes.

Answer:

Question 13

• transduction (Correct answer)
• nociception
• sensory adaptation
• perception

Question 14

• proximity
• figure-ground
• similarity
• closure (Correct answer)
