AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cone receptors are concentrated in the fovea of the eye (at 0° eccentricity), whereas rod receptors are concentrated in more peripheral retina (A).

Detailed explanation-2: -Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrate eyes including the human eye. They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and the combination of their responses is responsible for color vision.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the cones are used for color vision and are better suited for detecting fine details. There are about 6 million cones in the human retina.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two different types of receptors in the retina of each eye are responsible for the perception of fine detail and color (cones) and brightness (rods). Rods are located in the outer region of the retina while cones are located primarily in the central portion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cones = retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. The cones detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations. Optic Nerve = the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain.
