Cells that change one form of energy into neural impulses are known as
Receptor cells
What is a double-blind procedure?
Neither the experimenter nor the participant know who has received the placebo and who has received the independent variable
In order for an experiment’s results to be accepted the results must be…
Replicable

What is a projective test?
Personality tests that provide ambiguous stimuli to trigger projection of one’s inner thoughts and feelings; Thematic Apperception/Rorschach

Brightness
What is transduction?
The process where receptor cells turn one form of energy into a neural impulse
If the results of an experiment are statistically significant it means that…
The results were not due to change (p = .05 and below)
