1. A projection apparatus used to show visual stimuli for very brief durations is called [DEC 2014]
(1) Visual cliff
(2) Tachistoscope
(3) EEG Apparatus
(4) Trapezoidal window
2. Which of the following descriptions are correct? [DEC 2014]
I. Weber’s Ratio means that greater the magnitude of a stimulus, smaller the change required for a difference to be detected.
II. The ability to detect, resolve and perceive fine details of a visual display is called visual acuity.
III. Stimulation of a succession of neighboring retinal loci is called the image retina movement system.
IV. Adaptation refers to the proportion of incident light that is reflected.

| List I (Terms) | List II (Descriptions) |
|---|---|
| A. Accommodation | I. Certain minimum frequency of Intermittent light necessary to be perceived as continuous. |

4. Read each of the following two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below: [DEC 2014]
Assertion (A): Motion Parallax is the relative apparent motion of objects in the visual field as the viewer moves his head.
Reason (R): Motion Parallax is a monocular spatial cue.
(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of (A)
(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(3) (A) is true, but (R) is false
(4) (A) is false, but (R) is true
5. Match the items of List I (Theories) with List II (Explanations) and mark your answer with the help of the codes given below: [DEC 2014]
| List I (Theories) | List II (Explanations) |
|---|---|
| A. Doctrine of specific nerve energies | I. The basilar membrane vibrates as a whole to the frequency of the sound wave. |
| B. Frequency theory | II. The sensation elicited by stimulus depends primarily on the nerve excited and secondarily on the stimuli. |
| C. Purkinje effect | III. Refers to the tendency to perceive the simplest and the most stable figure of all possible alternatives. |
| D. Law of Pragnanz | IV. The illumination decreases owing to the shift from photopic cone vision to scotopic rod vision. |
(1) A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
(2) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
(3) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

6. Read each of the following two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below: [DEC 2014]
Assertion (A): A major function of the perceptual system is to keep the appearance of objects the same inspite of change in the stimuli.
Reason (R): The posterior brain system selects objects on the basis of location, shape or colour and the anterior system is responsible for guiding the process.
(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(3) A is true, but (R) is false
(4) A is false, but (R) is true

(1) Perceptual vigilance
(2) Perceptual constancy
(3) Perceptual set
(4) Perceptual style
