Term
does atmospheric perspective occur on the moon?
Definition
no, because there is no atmosphere
Term
what is atmospheric perspective?
Definition
(Cue Approach > Monoccular > Pictoral)

more distant objects appear less sharp and often have a slight blue tint?

it varies from place to place, ex. philly to montana. affected by the atmospheric conditions in a location
Term
which cues only work at close range?
Definition
accommodation and covergence
occlusion
relative size
motion parallax
Term
which cues work at medium ranges?
Definition
occlusion
motion parallax
relative size
relative height
Term
which cues work at long range?
Definition
occlusion
relative size
relative height
atmospheric perspective
Term
which cues are good for all ranges?
Definition
occlusion and relative size
Term
absolute disparity
Definition
(provides information about the distances of objects)

indicates how far an object is from the horopter. Greater disparity is associated with ferater distance from the horopter

changes each time observer changes where they are looking
Term
the absolute disparity for an object where your vision is fixated (on the fovea) would be...
Definition
zero degrees.
Term
horopter
Definition
imaginary surface passing through the point of fixation and indicating the locaiton of objects falling on corresponding points on the two retinas.
Term
which parts of the ear are filled with air?
Definition
Outer and Middle
the inner ear is filled with fluid
Term
Ossicles
Definition
middle ear. the 3 smallest bones in the body.

Maleaus, incus, and stapes
(hammer, anvil and stirrup)
Term
what is inner ear filled with
Definition
cochlear fluid
Term
tympanic membrane aka
Definition
eardrum
Term
main structure of the inner ear
Definition
cochlea. it is liquid filled.
Term
formants
Definition
peaks in pressure at a number of frequncies
-determine the phonetic quality of a vowel
Term
physical definition of sound
Definition
pressure changes in air
Term
perceptual definition for sound
Definition
exeperience of hearing
Term
condensation
and rarefaction
Definition
condensation - increase in air pressure density. diaphragm pushes out

rarefaction - decrease in molecule density. molecules spread to fill space. speaker diaphragm moves back in
Term
Amplitude
Definition
size of the pressure change
Term
repetition rate of a complex tone is the...
Definition
fundamental frequency
Term
decibel
Definition
amplitude in managable scale.
log involved
Term
frequency
Definition
number of times per second pressure changes repeat
Term
pressure changes in sine wave patterns
Definition
pure tones
Term
the property of repetition means that the tone is...
Definition
a periodic tone
Term
H-A-D formants
Definition
500, 1700, 2500 hz
Term
Miller/Isard
Definition
sentence shadowing
Term
Wernicke's aphasia
Definition
speech preserved but nonsensical
may experience word deafness

Wernicke's area on temporal
Term
Broca's aphasia
Definition
lose ability to produce language
-labored and silted speach

Broca's area is on frontal love
Term
formant transitions
Definition
associated with consanants.
rapid shifts in freq preceding or following formants
Term
Motor theory of speech
Definition
motor mechanisms responsible for producing sound activate mechanisms for perceiving sound
Term
word deafness
Definition
occurs in Wernicke's ahasia
-person can't recognize words even tho ability to hear pure tones remains in tact
Term
dual strem model
Definition
ventral stream in temporal lobe for recognizing speech,
dorsal stream in parietal lobe for linking acoustic signal to the movments that produce speech (where/how)
Term
Jeffress model
Definition
delay lines. coincidence detection - both signal arrive at neuron simultaneous and they fire
Term
Sekular experiment
Definition
balls appear to decussate (with no click) or bounce off each other (with click)
Term
Hoffman
Definition
did the ear mold experiment
Term
Gestalt auditory
Definition
Location
Similarity of Timbre and pitch
proximity in time
onset time (start diff times, diff things)
auditory ocntinuity
experience
