Giulio's bag of marbles is twice as heavy as Jim's. If it takes 5 extra marbles to make Jim's bag
feel heavier, it will take 10 extra marbles to make Giulio's bag feel heavier. This best illustrates

According to the Young-Helmholtz theory
the retina contains three kinds of color receptors
color vision depends on pairs of opposing retinal processes
the size of the difference threshold is proportional to the intensity of the stimulus
certain nerve cells in the brain respond to specific features of a stimulus

detecting whether specific strings are playing too sharp or too flat. With respect to tone
sensitivity, Maria apparently has a ________ threshold than does Jennifer
higher difference
higher absolute
lower difference
lower absolute
The gate-control theory attempts to explain how
certain nerve cells in the brain respond to specific features of a visual stimulus
the perception of pitch is related to the specific area of the basilar membrane that is activated
the nervous system blocks or allows pain signals to pass to the brain.
color vision depends on pairs of opposing neural processes

feature detection; sensory interaction
sensation; perception
Sensory adaptation refers to
the process by which stimulus energies are changed into neural impulses
diminishing sensitivity to an unchanging stimulus
the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information
