I just bought a shirt. The shirt is a very bright blue. The more times that I was the shirt the more it fades or the less color it has. What physiological process explains this?

How do rods differ from cones in the retina?
A rod picks up dim light, and cones pick up color and fine detail.
Process color and detect fine detail
What is the iris?
Colored muscle that surrounds the pupil.
White mucus on the eye.
Tell me about the fovea
Processes detailed vision and is part of the retina
Brightly colored muscle surrounding pupil
An area of the retina that is specialized for highly detailed vision
How does the brain process visual information?
Primary visual cortex
The brain flips the image
Light enters and travels to cornea, pupil, and lens before reaching retina.
Info travels from retina to thalamus and then simultaneously to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe and the amygdala
What is the opponent theory of color recognition and why is it supported?
Gets support from our understanding of the anatomy of the visual system. Because groups of cells that process yellow and blue or red and green are located together.
A theory of color vision that suggests we have a red-green channel and a blue-green channel in which activation of one color in each pair inhibits the other color.
The Gestal psychologists discussed several aspects or principles of perception. Tell me about the principle of Figure and Ground and then tell me about the principle of Closure.
Figure, identifying main objects in the scene
When looking at a picture we identify the main object, which stands out from the background. We frequently assume the figure stands in front of most of the ground.
Which stands out from the background, we cant look back and forth between the two. Looking at both can be frustrating.
Closure occurs when people see a complete, unbroken image even when there are gaps in the lines forming the image.
You are paining a picture and you want to try to represent depth in that picture. How can you represent a road as getting further away from you in that picture?
Linear perspective
T is where two parallel lines converge on a horizon
What is Occlusion?
The blocking of images of distant objects by closer objects.
If my hand is in front of my face you can see all of my hand but my hand blocks out part of my face.

Ontribute to emotional an social experiences
It doesn't make direct pathways to the thalamus
Olfactory pathways do not make direct connection with the thalamus before the information reaches the cerebral cortex.
What happens to our lens as we age?
It begins to yellow, which protects the eye from ultraviolet radiation but affects the percepetion of color.
It gets wrinkly.
What do Americans think about body odor that is different from other cultures?
We thinks it's is nasty. Other cultures could care less
They do not find it offensive
Americans find body odor offensive while other cultures do not.
What happens to our taste buds as we get older?
We lose our sensitivity to taste.
The taste buds become less sensitive.
A situation in which a current state is separated from an ideal state by obstacles.

A short-cut to problem solving; also known as a rule of thumb.
Heuristic
Availability heuristic
A rule of thumb in which the frequency of an event's occurrence is predicted by the ease with which the event is brought to mind.
Heuristic
Availability heuristic
A rule of thumb in which stimuli similar to a prototype are believed to be more likely than stimuli that are dissimilar to a prototype.
heuristic
Availability heuristic
Representativeness heuristic
A rule of thumb in which a higher value is placed on the more easily recognized alternative.
Recognition heuristic
Affect heuristic
A rule of thumb in which we choose between alternatives based on emotional or "gut"reactions to stimuli
Recognition heuristic
Affect heuristic
The representativeness heuristic makes us believe that stimuli similar to a prototype are more likely than stimuli that are dissimilar. Katrina Hodge, 2009 Miss England, may not fit your prototype of a Lance Corporal and Iraq War veteran. However, there are many more soldiers than beauty queens, so the likelihood that a beautiful is a soldier is higher than the likelihood that she is a beauty queen.

In Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman's classic Asian disease problem. They discovered that when a question was framed negatively, people were more likely to choose the riskier alternative.
Cierto
Falso
Three brain circuits play particularly important roles in decision making.
The first circuit assigns value to situations along the lines of pleasure and pain and involves the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the orbitofrontal cortex, the nucleus accumbens, and the amygdala.
The second circuit is an impulse control network that controls unwanted responses and includes the lateral prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex.
The third is an attentional circuit that monitors significant stimuli, and involves the insula, the anterior cingulate cortex, and the amygdala. This circuit also seems to be involved with more complex social decision making, such as deciding whom to trust.
The first circuit is an impulse control network that controls unwanted responses and includes the lateral prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex.
