Smell and TasteII. PerceptionCurrent LectureI. Smell and Taste-Smell and taste pathwaysBrain region is closely connected with the brain regions involved with memory (limbic system)Strong memories made through smellTaste is gustationSmell olfaction-Nothing on test about Body Position and MovementII.

GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Retinal disparity (when you look at something, you get a slightly different image from the different retinas)Binocular convergence (most useful for close-up objects)- Muscles are forming the eyes to make them move to determine how far or close something isMonocular:Relative sizeTexture gradientInterpositionLinear perspective Height in planeLight and shadowMotion parallax-Perceptual SetOnce someone thinks something exists, they are more apt to see it-When perception deceives usUnusual phenomena help us understand ordinary perceptionMoon illusion - disrupts relative size relationshipThe ames room- disrupts size-distance
