Discussion
1) Give me a real-life example of each one of the following terms: sensory adaptation; signal detection theory; and perceptual constancy.
2) Explain in your own words why some scientists say that stress is “perceptual” ? By definition “stress is defined as the response resulting from perceived threats resulting from stimuli”.
3) If you had to lose one of your five senses, which one would you choose and why? Be specific and use the information in the textbook to discuss your decision. What are the difficulties that would encounter given your choice?
4) What is the visual cliff experiment and what did it prove?
5) Give a personal example of how “MOTIVATION” play a role in your PERCEPTION of a stimulus or situation.
