PSYC 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Smooth Pursuit, Roygbiv, Color Vision
Lesson 18: Vision (Part 1) PRINT IN COLOR
• General Sensory Process
o Physical stimulus
▪ Light energy
• Wave patterns
• Brains processed speed of light
• Special receptors in eyeball to detect subtle differences in speed
of light
• Photos hit receptors to cause…
o Physiological response
▪ Turn to chemical and electrical
▪ Send to brain
▪ Transduction
o Sensory experience
▪ Brain try to make sense
• Vision
o Hitting 2D surface on back of eye to construct world
• Light Energy
o [Hearing (FRQ and AMP)]
o FRQ
▪ short wave lengths (high pitch)
• bluish
▪ longer wave lengths (Low pitch)
• reddish
▪ ROYGBIV
o AMP
▪ Greater (high volume)
• Bright
▪ Smaller (low volume)
• Dull
• The Electromagnetic Spectrum
o We only experience a little
o Other animals have ability to see other colors
▪ Ie mantishrimp
o Alters how you see the world
• The Human Eye
o sicods (partner scanning room)
