Week One Worksheet
Respond to the following questions in 75 to 150 words each.
1. Differentiate between sensation and perception. Explain the importance of separating these concepts. The differences between sensation and perception is that sensation is the elementary elements that, according to structuralist, combine to create perception. Whereas, perception is the conscious sensory experience (Goldstein, 2014). This student has always looked at sensations as those things in a persons’s environment that one can see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and feel. On the other hand perception is how a person’s brain will interpret what is seen, heard, smelt, felt, or touched.
2. Identify the biological factors

Furthermore, presbyopia can be corrected by the use of reading glasses or by holding the reading material at arms length but this student at the age of 50 knows from experience trying to hold a crochet pattern at arms length while trying to crochet just wont work. This student has chosen to use reading glasses and a bright light by the recommendation of her optometrist because a bright light will allow my light to go into the lens and a dim light will only decrease a persons ability to see and focus.
4. You are shown a picture of an elephant. Explain how that stimulus is processed from the retina to the visual cortex of the brain.
After being shown a picture of an elephant they eye will take the light that is reflected from the object and it will enter the eye through the pupil. Then the light will be focused by the cornea and the lens to form a sharp image of the elephant in the retina. The retina is the network of neurons that cover the back of the eye and contains the visual receptors for a person vision. The visual receptors are made up of cones and rods that contain light sensitive chemicals called visual pigments. Visual pigments reacht to light and cause a triggered electrical signals to occur. These electrical signals will then flow through a network of neurons and this network of neurons is what makes up a persons retina. After the flow through the network of neurons occurs the electrical signals will emerge from the back of the eye in the area
B. The links to the video and article recommend very specific ways to use willpower.
Yes! Education is very important to me because of the way I grew up. My mother wasn’t very educated about children sometimes I think she thought that children should come with a how-to book, which is why my brother and I were put into foster care. I told myself that when I grew up I was going to go to college. I enrolled here at Ashford University on December, 21, 2014 and I’m estimated to graduate on December 3, 2018. My three (3) educational goals that align with education as a core value are Goal A, Do the best to my ability and apply myself to do the work and receive a passing grade. Get a “B” or better. Goal B, Never give up! No matter what anyone says? My final goal C is to finish out with my bachelor’s degree in childcare. With me willpower has a play in all that I do. I have so many people that do not believe in me. They say that because I have a learning disability that I won’t be able to do the work in college. I use my willpower to show them they are wrong. My willpower is
Whether section 26.10.160 of the Revised Code of Washington unconstitutionally interferes with a parent’s fundamental right to raise his or her children as he or she sees fit?
Explain the visual process, including the stimulus input, the structure of the eye, and the transduction of light energy.
Marcovitch, S. G., Gold, A., Washington, J., Wasson, C., Krekewich, K., & Handley-Derry, M. (1997).
a. Nominal: This is a measurement that has a number assigned to show something or someone else, an example of this would be one’s social security number.
Offer- This is defined as a clear manifestation of willingness to enter an agreement made by another person with full understanding that their assent to the bargain is an invitation and is concluded.
Humans have a unique and wonderful device in how one sees. The eye and brain work together to turn the world into visual data one’s brain can understand and use. There are some eye conditions that inhibit the sight or the recognition of the shapes one sees. Research continues to overcome these conditions as well as to further understand the biochemical reaction that gives humans the sight and understanding one has of visual data. Included in the paper are some of the latest research methods.
Explained as simplistically as possible, Visual perception itself is the ability to interpret one 's surrounding environment by, processing information through the eye to the brain. The eye is a sense organ which is part of the sensory system which in turn transmits information about one 's environment to the brain.
As expected, there is elevated activity in the primary visual cortex when presented with the stimuli. Furthermore, brain activity in the visual cortex is similar
The cornea is clear and at the front of the eye. When light rays enter it, the cornea refracts it through the pupil and then the iris. The iris controls how much light may pass through the pupil by expanding or shrinking. Next, the light ray will enter the lens. This also refracts light by changing its shape with the help of the ciliary muscles and the suspensory ligaments. The light will go through a dense jelly-like tissue named the vitreous humour and eventually focused at the back of the eye onto the retina. The retina is a light sensitive tissue and covered with rods and cones. These receptors will capture the light ray and transform it into electrical impulses. They get sent off through the nerve fibres, then the optic nerve, and then finally the brain. The picture given by the retina is upside down so our brain will next turn it the right way up.
