Important Sensation Theories

Page 39: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

Absolute ThresholdWeakest amount of a

stimulus that can be sensed ex: candle flame viewed at night from about 30 miles

Difference ThresholdMinimum amount of

difference that can be detected between two

stimuli

Two different shades of blue

Sensory AdaptationProcess by which we become

more sensitive to weak stimuli and less stimuli to

unchanging stimuli

In a dark movie theater you start to see better over time; city dweller stop hearing traffic sounds

Signal Detection TheoryMethod of distinguishing

stimuli that also takes into account variable elements like setting, mood, physical state- We focus on what is

important

Our classroom has a buzzing sound constantly, you don’t notice it when you are workingWhen you are annoyed the “small things” stand out to you

Gate TheoryOnly a certain amount of

information can be processed by the nervous system at a

time

If you press on a “boo boo” it hurts less

Page 49: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

Page 45Visual Deprivation Lab

Objective: To see the effects of sensory deprivation on the other senses and to better understand the psychological effects it may have .

Page 50: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

• Procedures: 1. Get your blindfold and sit with your chosen partner2. You will need to keep time during the lab – each demonstration

will be 25 minutes, with a 5 minutes rest in between to switch roles

3. Decide who will be “blind” first and who will be the “leader” “Leader” is allowed to take blind person all over the campus, BUT NO stairs are allowed, no restrooms with members of the opposite sex, no occupied classrooms, no office areas, or media center (if occupied by classes), at least 100 feet from road, stay away from cars in parking lot.

4. Every now and then, spin them around (a little) to see if they still know WHERE they are.

Page 51: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

5. IF your partner gets hurt when they are the “blind” person – you will FAIL or have to do alternate activity to receive credit

6. IF there is a drill, alarm, or emergency of any kind, lab is OVER and you are to go to the nearest class room and explain to the teacher that you need to wait with their class until event has passed. Once you return to class after event has passed, I will email teacher to confirm attendance during event.

Page 52: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

7. Think about how this lab makes you feel, BUT don’t discuss it UNTIL after we have done reflection at end of lab – we will start class when you return with discussion of “stories” you have about your experiences.8. After first round, be back at end of 25 minutes (1 point off per

minute late) – change blindfolds and start second round – another 25 minutes

9. We will finish with written reflections BEFORE discussion11. I will also be walking around to mark off pairs as I see them –

NO loitering or socializing in hallways12. You WANT to impress administration and faculty, by trying to

use this lab to better understand how your senses interact – not play around

ReflectionMy role in part 2 ____________________________________

For “Blind”1. How did you feel after first

putting on the blindfold? Did your feelings change over time? How? Why do you think that is so?

2. Were there any instances where you felt like your other senses were helping you to “see” your environment? Explain.

3. Did you trust your leader? Why or why not?

For “Leader”1. How did you feel when you

first started leading your blind person around? Did your feeling change over time? How? Why?

2. How did your blind person do? Were they able to use other sensory cues to determine their location? Give specific examples.

3. What were some interesting situations that took place on your walk?

Page 54: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

Lab Reflection1.Did you enjoy this lab? Why or why not?2.Do you feel that you gained any insight on what

being blind is like?3.Overall, how did you feel as a blind person?4.What did this lab teach you about sensory

deprivation?5. Is there anything about your experience that I

should be aware of?6.Favorite part?7.Least favorite part?

EQ- What is inattentional blindness? How does our brain “create” what we see? What is selective attention? BF2

Agenda:1. Discuss Inattentional

Blindness, Selective Attention, Change Blindness

2. Scenarios3. Brain Games

Table of Contents:46. Other Theories Chart47. Theories Scenarios

Page 56: October 28, 2013 Eq- How is information from our sensory organs processed by the brain? Standard- BF 2 Table of Contents: 42. The 7 senses 43. Chapter

More Sensation TheoriesSelective Attention: our brains focus attention on particular stimuli that are of interest to usEx: Noisy lunchroom- you still hear your friends

Inattentional Blindness: Since our brains are using selective attention, we are “blind” to all of the things happening around us that we aren’t paying attention to Ex: Someone steals your purse while you are standing and talking to your friends.

Change Blindness- when you are really focused on something else, you may not notice if a change is made to your environmentEx: You are focused on your homework and don’t notice that your mom changes the channel from the show you’re watching

Pop-Out Phenomenon- some stimuli are so strong and different from everything else that they POP OUT at us and we notice them.Ex: Where’s Waldo

1. Your dog can hear the dog whistle but you can’t!2. I was concentrating so hard on my math test that I didn’t notice

when a different teacher came in and started sitting at the front of the room.

3. We easily spotted the new student in the crowded lunchroom because she was the only one not in uniform.

4. I was anxiously waiting for my mom to get home for work and I heard every noise, thinking it was the garage door opening.

Closure Our brains will finish off missing elements of an image to make a whole picture

Figure Ground We focus on one object (figure) and the rest is the surroundings (ground)

Proximity Things that are close together are viewed as part of one unit

Similarity Things that are alike are viewed as belonging together as one unit

Continuity We view lines as continuous instead of interrupted

Connectedness We viewed things that are connected together as belonging together as one unit

Perception- our mind’s ability to make sense or meaning from the sensory messages

Gestalt psychologists- believe our minds like to view things as a “whole” or complete picture- so we take certain steps to organize the things that we see in a way that makes them complete or whole

EX: What do you see:

(figure) and one thing that the surroundings (ground)

We then focus on the figure while ignoring the groundEx: In a crowded area, the person you are talking to is the figure, everything else is the ground
