Sensation

Sensory Processing

Vision

Audition

The Chemical Senses

The Somatosenses

Sensory Processing

- Transduction

- Sensory Coding

Psychophysics

Sensory Coding

The codes used by the sensory systems to transmit information to the brain
Two general forms:
Anatomical coding
Temporal coding

Psychophysics

Studies the relationship between physical stimuli and perceptual experience
Just Noticeable Difference (JND) – smallest difference in a stimulus that a person can detect
Signal-detection theory – a mathematical theory of the detection of stimuli

Light

The Eye and Its Functions

Figure 6.7: Lenses Used to Correct Nearsightedness and Farsightedness

Adaptation to Light and Dark

When you enter a dark room after being in a brightly lit room or in sunlight, it takes some time to adjust your eyes to the dark.
Dark adaptation – process of being able to distinguish dimly illuminated objects after going from a bright region into a dark one

Transduction of Light by Photoreceptors

Figure 6.12: Transduction of Light into Neural Activity

Eye Movements

Conjugate movements – require both eyes to remain fixed on the same target
Saccadic movements – abrupt shifts in gaze from one point to another
Pursuit movements – include tracking a moving object

Color Vision

Figure 6.14: Hue, Brightness, and Saturation

Figure 15: Additive Color Mixing

- Hue: related to wavelength

- Brightness: related to intensity of light

Saturation: related to purity

Figure 6.16: Additive Color Mixing and Paint Mixing

Figure 6.17: A Negative Afterimage

Defects in Color Vision

- Protanopia: red cones filled with green photopigment

- Deuteranopia: green cones filled with red photopigment

Tritanopia: lack of blue cones

Audition

- Sound

- The Ear and Its Functions

Detection and Localizing Sounds in the Environment

Sound

Detecting and Localizing Sounds in the Environment

Pitch and loudness
Timbre
Perception of environmental sounds
Locating the source of a sound

Detecting and Localizing Sounds in the Environment

Two systems:

Low frequency – difference in arrival time

High frequency – difference in intensity

Figure 6.26: Localizing the Source of High-Frequency Sounds

The Chemical Senses

- Gustation

Olfaction

Gustation

- Taste Receptors and the Sensory Pathway

The Five Qualities of Taste
Bitterness
Sourness
Sweetness
Saltiness
Umami

Olfaction

Anatomy of the Olfactory System

The Dimensions of Odor

Figure 6.30: The Olfactory System

The Dimension of Odor

Humans can recognize up to 10,000 different odors
Not yet known exactly which molecules stimulate which receptors

The Somatosenses

The Skin Senses
Touch and pressure
Temperature
Pain
The Internal Senses
The Vestibular Senses

The Skin Senses

Figure 6.32: Sensory Receptors

Figure 6.33: The Method for Determining the Two-Point Discrimination Threshold

The Internal Senses

There are sensory receptors located in our internal organs, bones and joints, and muscles that convey painful, neutral, and in some cases pleasurable sensory information

The Vestibular Senses

Sense of balance
Vestibular apparatus – contributes to balance and head movement
Semicircular canal – responds to

rotational movement of head

Vestibular sac – detects change

in the tilt of the head

Business Communications Assignment

May 31, 2023/in Uncategorized /by SK

Due Driday 7/11/14 – before midnight eastern time.

Unused/ Original. No copy-paste work!!

Write 1100–1200 words

Part I

You are planning to expand your fast-food hamburger franchise internationally and have decided to open in the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Mexico and China. Knowing that all of these countries and its people have different cultures, customs, beliefs, values and attitudes that are unique to their country and different from that of the United States, consider how this would impact your fast-food business. What are some of the considerations to keep in mind concerning how these different social and religious values and cultures have on food preparation and eating, the social behaviors to be sensitive to regarding employees and customers, the type of trainings that will be required, the work attitudes and behaviors, and any ethical standards that you may need to develop? Are the attitudes in these countries individualistic or collective?

Part II

If you were to send your top managers to these countries, what type of cultural shock should they expect? How would you help them alleviate this stress? Provide a few examples from each country.

Part III

In many countries, “expeditors” can help you cut through layers of bureaucracy so that you can get your business done or done faster. Expeditors are normally paid for what they do, and they may ask you to help finance other expeditors within these countries that will help move your business request through the system faster. The methods that are being used could ultimately be unethical, illegal, or maybe not at all.

How would you go about making sure the practice of an expeditor is legal?
Would you approve a paid transaction requested by an expeditor if it was acceptable in the country, but unethical back in the United States? (defend your position) What business ethics are involved in your decision making process?
What factors should you consider and who should you consult with and why?
