Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In visual perception, transduction involves converting ____ into ____
A
electrochemical energy, electromagnetic energy
B
neural impulses, electrochemical energy
C
electromagnetic energy, neural impulses
D
photoreceptors, neural impulses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What does the process of transduction involve in visual perception? Transduction is the process whereby electromagnetic energy (light) is converted into electrochemical energy (neural impulses).

Detailed explanation-2: -Visual transduction is the process in the eye whereby absorption of light in the retina is translated into electrical signals that ultimately reach the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transduction: the conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, this is the transformation of sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brain can interpret.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transduction: Conversion of one form of energy into another… So in Sensation it’s the transforming of stimulus energies such as sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brain can interpret.

Detailed explanation-5: -Technically speaking, transduction is the process of converting one form of energy into another. As it relates to psychology, transduction refers to changing physical energy into electrical signals (neural impulses) that can make their way to the brain.
