What is a stimuli?
A thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue: "areas of the brain which respond to auditory stimuli".
Who has a faster reflex boys or girls in a. Visual reactions and b. Audio reactions?
There is no significant difference in boys or girls for visual reactions or auditory reactions. For both genders, visual cues take longer to process than auditory stimuli.
What sense does the temporal lobe interpret?
It is associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech.
Channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx?
The answer is the auditory (Eustacean) tube.
Contains the organ of corti?
The organ of Corti is housed in an inner ear structure known as the cochlea.
What is echoic memory?
a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli
What is a stimuli?
A thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue: "areas of the brain which respond to auditory stimuli".
Types of stimuli?
Stimuli are composed of two types: The Internal Stimuli and External Stimuli. Under internal stimuli are homeostatic imbalances and blood pressure. On the other hand, external stimuli are vision, touch and pain, taste, smell, equilibrium and sound.
What is correct order in which to assess level of arousal?
Determine the arousal state first, using minimal stimuli and increasing intensity as needed. Start with auditory stimuli, move to tactile stimuli, and use painful stimuli as a last resort.
Why might there be differences in reaction time between auditory and visual cues?
Simple reaction time studies show that RT to auditory stimuli is faster than visual stimuli. This is because the sensory process for light is more neurologically complex than for auditory cues. For light to be processed, it has a longer path to take in the brain, going all the way to the back of the brain to the occipital lobe and then back to the eyes. Auditory stimuli is processed in the ear then sent to the temporal lobe and back to the ear; a relatively shorter distance than the vision pathway. Reaction time to auditory cues in normal, healthy subjects is roughly 180 milliseconds for auditory cues and about 220 milliseconds.
How does caffeine affect reaction times?
Caffeine increases the reaction time to visual and auditory stimuli
Identify three different types of stimuli?
Visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory, taste These are the most broad. They can be much more specific such as, just for Auditory: Verbal, Somatic, musical... It could also be very abstract. A stimuli can pretty much anything that solicits a response. Cause and effect.
How is audio data transmitted?
Auditory sensory neurons are specialized to detect stimuli from the environment which triggers the neuron to transmit a message to the central nervous system. These stimuli are both voluntary and involuntary.
Who has a faster reflex boys or girls in a. Visual reactions and b. Audio reactions?
There is no significant difference in boys or girls for visual reactions or auditory reactions. For both genders, visual cues take longer to process than auditory stimuli.
What has the author Constance Caranasos written?
Constance Caranasos has written: 'Behavioral and heart rate responses of four-, five-, and six-week-old infants to varying auditory stimuli' -- subject(s): Infants, Heart beat, Auditory perception
What part of the brain is damaged if someone can't remember names?
The Temporal Lobe is the part of the brain that is associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech
What is behavior isolation?
Potential mates meet, but choose members of their own species. Involves species or mate recognition through cues such as visual stimuli (plumage, courtship displays), auditory stimuli (calls), and chemical stimuli (pheromones).Behavioral Isolation: form of reproductive isolation in which two populations have differences in courtship rituals or other types of behavior that prevent them from interbreeding.
