kinesthesis

priming

sensation

interposition

sensory input is organized and interpreted

stimulus energies are detected

stimulus energies are transformed into neural impulses

nerve cells respond to specific features of a stimulus

priming

sensory interaction

sensory adaptation

transduction

perceptual set

just noticeable difference

absolute threshold

critical period

priming

interposition

retinal disparity

sensory adaptation

sensory interaction

feature detection

Weber's law

parallel processing

the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information

changes in the shape of the lens as it focuses on objects

the process by which stimulus energies are changed into neural impulses

reduced sensitivity to an unchanging stimulus

feature detectors

retina

where bipolar cells connect with ganglion

that contains cones but no rods
