Document Summary

Sense receptors take in info: __________________: interpretation of sensory input. Putting the pieces together: __________________: conversion of stimuli to neural activity. Transduction = translation a e: sensation leads to perception. **how are sensation, perception, and transduction related: _________________: a narrow focus of consciousness. Attention: helps us orient towards new or interesting information, helps us tune out boring information through sensory adaptation, sensory adaptation: sensitivity to prolonged stimulation tends to decline over time as an organism adapts to current conditions. **what are some examples of sensory adaptation? video: models of processing. Perception based on building simple input into more complex perception. Top downprocessing: ______________________________: a perceptual process in which memory and other cognitive processes are required for interpreting incoming sensory information. Bottom-up vs. top-down: these two processes can interact (and even interfere) with one another. In undergrad, one of my friends majored in russian, and to help him practice, we sometimes would text in russian.
