Step 4: Address the following questions in discussion in one paragraph for each of the three questions:
Questions
1. Examine the pictures of flowers above, the first in visible light and the second in ultraviolet light (or how bees see the flowers, which requires a special lens for humans to view, since ultraviolet light is outside the visible light spectrum).
Explain why humans are sensitive to only certain types of stimuli? For example, why don’t we see ultraviolet light like bees? How is it possible that the colors of the same flower look very different depending on the organism viewing them?
2. Perception is reality. Is this a true statement? Include an example to support your argument. Where do individual differences seem to arise in the way we perceive the world?
3. While we often discuss each sense individually, multisensory integration is required for a full picture of the world. Hypothesize why the superadditive effect of multisensory integration exists. What are the benefits of this effect to human perception? Is multisensory integration useful for our perception of the world? How does the organization of the brain support multimodal integration?
