Sensation and Perception
Which type of depth cue involves the perception of distance based on the convergence of the eyes?
Accommodation
Interposition
Binocular disparity
Relative size
In an experiment where participants must point out which line among three comparison lines matches the length of a standard line, what social factor could affect their perception?
Social loafing could cause decreased effort when individuals work within groups compared with working alone.
Group polarization might result in more extreme perceptions of length after group discussion about it.
Conformity pressure may lead some participants to agree with incorrect choices made by confederates posing as fellow participants.
A bystander effect can reduce intervention likelihood when others are present but does not influence individual perception tasks directly
When one object partially blocks another object from view yet we still understand that both objects are separate entities complete behind what we can see exhibits which perceptual concept?
Two Shape Constability
Three Brightness Consistency
Interposition
One size constance
Which depth cue relies on both eyes working together to perceive distance?
Linear perspective
Interposition
Binocular cues
Monocular cues
Which Gestalt principle of perception involves the tendency to group objects together that are similar in appearance?
Constancy
Proximity
Closure
Similarity
If a research subject shows increased activity in a certain area of the brain whenever shown pictures of snakes, could we infer that the amygdala plays a role?
The primary motor cortex is essential for voluntary movement and doesn't relate directly to viewing images eliciting fear.
The amygdala is involved in emotional responses, particularly fear, and snakes are likely to stimulate this response region.
The hypothalamus regulates homeostasis and bodily functions, including emotional reactions, yet it isn't directly linked to phobias.
The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information; however, it does not specifically pertain to emotion or fear.
What does the concept of "perceptual constancy" refer to in psychology?
The belief that certain perceptual experiences are consistent across different individuals.
The theory that our perception of stimuli changes based on previous experiences.
The understanding that objects do not physically change despite changes in our perception.
The phenomenon where the relative size and shape of objects appear constant even when their distance from us changes.

Which phenomenon best exemplifies the concept of top-down processing during visual perception?
Noticing motion in peripheral vision due to stimuli changes within the environment.
Recognizing a friend's face even when partially obscured by an object.
Quickly identifying red from green apples in a fruit bowl based on color hues.
Experiencing depth perception while viewing stereograms designed with binocular cues.
What perceptual principle may help a person with PTSD manage flashbacks during therapy?
Focusing on depth perception exercises
Applying the psychoanalytic perspective to uncover unconscious meanings
Applying Weber’s Law to sensory stimuli
Use of visual illusions as distractions
What ethical issue arises if a psychologist uses subliminal messages without client knowledge or permission?
The main issue here is non-maleficence as it doesn't cause physical harm to clients.
This action mainly causes financial harm rather than ethical concerns.
This situation is not unethical as it's within the domain of psychological practice.
This practice violates autonomy because clients cannot give informed consent without awareness.
