Brain region responsible for speech production.

Brain region responsible for speech comprehension.

Smallest unit of sound in a spoken language.

Smallest unit of meaning in a language.

System of grammatical rules in a language.

Aspect of language related to meaning.

Use of language in context; implied meaning.

Letters are recognized better in the context of words.

A system that receives and processes environmental stimuli through sense organs.

Cells in sense organs that translate stimuli into neural signals.

Includes eyes, rods and cones, optic nerve, and Primary Visual Cortex.

Dome-shaped outer layer of the eye, responsible for most of focusing.

Adjusts thickness to focus light onto the retina, changing for near and far.

The part of the eye that processes light and converts it to neural impulses.

Regulates light entering the eye by changing size during varying light conditions.

Cones are for color and detail; rods are for motion and low light.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from 370-700 nm.

Cone cells are located in the retina and are sensitive to different wavelengths, with types for blue, green, and red.

Color is defined by three components: hue, brightness, and saturation.

Trichromatic theory explains color perception through the activation of red, blue, and green cones.

Opponent-process theory states that opposing color receptors in the brain; one color activation inhibits the opposite.

Interactions that support reproduction and avoid inbreeding.

The process of controlling hunger and food intake.

Bundles of axons transmitting smell signals to the brain.

Primary brain region for processing olfactory information.

How taste and olfactory signals combine to define flavor.

Ear structures that sense linear movements and gravity.

Fluid in the semicircular canals of the vestibular system.

The ability to focus on multiple tasks at once.

Brain structure involved in the sense of smell.

About 396 types that detect specific odorants.

Ability to recognize and name specific scents.

Loss or absence of smell for many scents.

Reduced ability to smell due to health issues.

Approximately 10,000 distinct smells.

Inability to smell specific odors while others remain detectable.

Getting used to continuous odors over time.

Reaction time is influenced by the location of stimuli.

Searching for stimuli in the external environment.

Filtering out other stimuli while focusing on one.

Distractions from internal thoughts unrelated to the task.

A hyper-focused state of immersion in an activity.

Involves perception, memory, and language management.

Set of abilities used to complete tasks accurately.

Measures attentional ability using interfering stimuli.

Occurs without intention or conscious effort.

Requires conscious effort to perform tasks.

Ability to focus on specific sounds while ignoring others.

There’s a limit to how much information we can attend to.

Focus attention on one message while ignoring another.

Organizational principles that help us perceive wholes.
