Sensation• Input comes from the five
senses:
–Visual (Eyes)
–Audio (Ears)
–Cutaneous/Tactile (Touch)
–Olfaction (Smell) (Nose)
–Gustation (Taste) (Tongue)

Absolute ThresholdAbsolute Threshold•A threshold is an edge or a
boundary•For sensations, it is the point
where you either sense a stimulus or don’t
Technically, its “The Technically, its “The minimum stimulus that a minimum stimulus that a person can detect 50% of person can detect 50% of
the time”the time”

Difference ThresholdDifference Threshold• The minimum difference that a person
can detect between two stimuli 50% of the time
• Also called just noticeable difference
• (JND)(JND)
someone must have turned on another
light!
Hey! Is it just me or did suddenly get a
little brighter in here?!
![Page 24: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ernst Weber and Weber’s Law Weber’s Law • The greater the magnitude of the The greater the magnitude of the
stimulus, the larger the stimulus, the larger the difference must be in order to be difference must be in order to be noticednoticed– IE. If you are carrying 20 lbs. and add
5 lbs., it’s noticeable. If you are carrying 100 pounds and add 5 pounds, it may not be noticeable. You need to add 10 lbs. to 100 pounds to make it noticeable.

Sensory Adaptation• When exposed to a stimuli over
a period of time there will be a diminished sensitivity to it
• If a stimulus is constant and unchanging, eventually a person may fail to respond to it

Pupil
• The adjustable opening in the center of the eye that controls the amount of light entering the eye (surrounded by the iris)
• In bright conditions the iris expands, making the pupil smaller.
• In dark conditions the iris contracts, making the pupil larger.

Lens• A transparent structure behind the pupil;
focuses the image on the back of the eye (retina)
• Muscles that change the thickness of the lens change how the light is bent thereby focusing the image
• Glasses or contacts correct problems in the lens’ ability to focus.

Receptor Cells
• These cells are present in every sensory system to change (transduce) some other form of energy into neural impulses.
• In sight they change light into neural impulses the brain can understand.
• Visual system has two types of receptor cells – rods and cones
![Page 52: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Visual receptor cells located in the retina
• Can only detect black and white
• Respond to less light than do cones
Rods

Sound
•Sound, like light, comes in waves
•Sound is vibration•Features of sound include:
–Pitch–Hertz–decibels
![Page 85: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Pitch
• A sound’s highness or lowness in tone
• Dependent on the frequency of the sound wave – the more “waves per second” the higher the frequency or pitch
• Is measured as hertz (Hz)
![Page 86: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Hertz (Hz)
• A measure of the number of sound wave peaks per second; measures “frequency”
• Determines the pitch of the sound
• Human hearing goes from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
![Page 88: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Low Pitch
• Wave peaks are far apart
Human hearing goes from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz although some ears (and speakers) are
better than others
![Page 89: Sensation and Perception. Sensation process by which our sensory systems receive stimuliThe process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, and other](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dff5503460f94ae6d5c/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
High Pitch
• As pitch increases, so do the number of waves
Remember - Human hearing goes from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz note: a kilohertz is 1,000 hertz
so 20 kilohertz equals 20,000 hertz

Localization of Sound
• Locating where sound is originating from
• Done through two cues:
–Which ear hears the sound first?
–Which ear hears the louder sound?

Taste• Taste is a chemical sense.
• The little bumps on our tongues are actually called papillae
• Inside some of these papillae are clumps of taste cells.
• These clumps of cells are actually the taste buds.

Taste• On average, adults have about 7,500 taste buds.
• These receptor cells are located in the tongue and in the mouth.
• When food dissolves on these receptors, TRANSDUCTION occurs
• Damaged taste receptor cells are replaced within a few days to 2 weeks

• People with a minimum of taste receptors
• Taste with less intensity than the rest of the population
• Approximately 25% of the population

Smell• Smell is a chemical sense.• Olfactory receptors/cells in the
upper nasal passages detect molecules in the air.
• Taste and smell interact to produce flavor.

Touch• Touch receptors are on the skin• Four basic skin senses are
– Pain– warmth– cold– pressure
• All skin sensations are a combination of these four basic senses

Sensitivity of Diff body to pain
Most Sensitive
• Back of knees
• Neck region
• Bend of elbow
Least Sensitive
• Tip of the Nose
• Sole of foot
• Ball of thumb

• Pain messages travel on one set of nerve fibers containing pain gates.
• The gates are open when pain is felt.
• Other sensory messages go through another set of fibers.
• The non-pain fibers can close the pain gates to stop the sense of pain.

Gate-control Theory of Pain
• Pain messages travel on one set of nerve fibers containing pain gates.
• The gates are open when pain is felt.
• Other sensory messages go through another set of fibers.
• The non-pain fibers can close the pain gates to stop the sense of pain.

Kinesthetic Sense•The system for sensing
the position and movement of individual body parts
•Relies on receptor cells from the muscles and joints
•One’s leg “falling asleep” is a disruption of the kinesthetic sense

Vestibular Sense• The system for sensing body
orientation and balance• Relies on fluid in the semicircular
canals of the inner ear• Spinning in circles disrupts the
fluid.
