SOLVED

31) The frequency of true positives, false negatives, false positives, and true negatives allow us to determine if participants have ______________. a. the correct signal-to-noise ratio. b. any response biases. c. detected a just noticeable difference. d. an absolute threshold for the stimulus. 32) Casey is participating in a psychology experiment where he is asked to indicate whether he heard a sound or did not hear a sound on successive testing trials. If Casey says he heard a sound, and no sound was presented, his response would be considered a ___________________ according to signal detection theory. a. true positive b. false positive c. false negative d. true negative 33) Casey is participating in a psychology experiment where he is asked to indicate whether he heard a sound or did not hear a sound on successive testing trials. If Casey says he did not hear a sound, and no sound was presented, his response would be considered a ___________________ according to signal detection theory. a. true positive b. false positive c. false negative d. true negative 34) Casey is participating in a psychology experiment where he is asked to indicate whether he heard a sound or did not hear a sound on successive testing trials. If Casey says he did not hear a sound, and a sound was presented, his response would be considered a ___________________ according to signal detection theory. a. true positive b. false positive c. false negative d. true negative 35) Which of the following is true with respect to the doctrine of specific nerve energies? a. The sensation we experience is determined by the nature of the sense receptor, not the stimulus. b. Our brain responds differently when either light or touch activate sense receptors in our eyes. c. Distinct stimulus energies (e.g., light, sound) cause different sensations in the same sense receptor. d. Specific nerve energies involve processing in sense receptors but have no links to cortical pathways. 36) Hearing the audio track of one syllable (such as “ba”) spoken repeatedly while seeing a video track of a different syllable being spoken (such as “ga”) produces the perceptual experience of a different third sound (such as “da”). This is an example of ________________. a. the McGurk effect b. the just noticeable difference c. signal detection d. the doctrine of specific nerve energies. 37) Cross-modal sensations, such as hearing colours or tasting words, are associated with ______________. a. the McGurk effect b. synesthesia c. parallel processing d. colour constancy 38) When Georgina reads, letters and words take on personality characteristics such as shy and sweet. Which of the following explains this altered perception? a. Synesthesia b. Inattentional blindness c. Dyslexia d.

Colour blindness d. Change blindness 40) Sarah is a pianist who reports that she hears musical tones as colours. This is one example of a. the Ponzo illusion. b. synesthesia. c. binocular cues. d. the Ganzfield technique.
