4. My reaction time improved as I went on because sense perception helped me to be prepared for what was going to happen so that I could react faster. Though on trial three where my scores start to descend, I think it was a result of over stimuli, seeing the same thing over and over and not being able to react as fast because the dots don't process through the brain as fast as they did when I played for the first time. Reason didn't affect my score because I didn't notice any reason or pattern in the way the dots popped up.

7. Synthesesia is a condition where the senses seem mixed up. This is because the brain perceives experiences and attaches different, wrong, senses to them. For example, someone could listen to music and certain sounds evoke their taste sense. Or some people see different colors when they hear music dependent on the note or tone.
8. I think that another WOK other than hearing that is involved when listening to music is reason because people have to have reasons for why they find some music more pleasing than others.

12. The Stroop test is when colors are shown in different colors than their names and you have to read the color not the name. Knowing gets in the way because the brain perceives words faster than it perceives colors and by knowing the color names the brain picks up on them immediately thus making it hard to isolate just the color itself. This can be tested when there is writing, but not all the words are written some of them may be substituted as numbers and people can still read the sentences. This is because the brain knows the words and therefore can perceive them with the littlest information. Also, selective attention plays a factor in reaction time because people are taught to pay attention to the words when they first learn how to read, not the color of the text so when you're asked to do the opposite the brain automatically goes to perceive the word, even without the person wanting too, before the color.

Sensory Adaptation & Deprivation
Selective attention v Inattention blindness
Selective attention is when you are able to focus on some environmental factors and block out others where as inattention blindness is closely associated with sensory overload where there may be too many things going on to catch everything. Inattention blindness is more, not catching things that were there whereas selective attention is being aware of what's around you and choosing to specifically focus in on certain things, this is sometimes called hyperfocus.
Personal experience:
Inattentive blindness while watching a movie for the first time, this happens to everyone. I doubt anyone can recall every detail of a movie they've seen after watching it only for the first time. This is because of stimuli overload. Movies are long and many things happen right after another and you're so busy focusing on the big picture that you fail to see some important details. For example I recently watched The Lord Of The Rings and those movies are extremely long. And I think that I watched them pretty closely or whatever but then I went on the internet on a blogging website called Tumblr and there were GIF images of the movie and there were some GIFs of Legolas who is a big side-character and the images were of some of the facial expressions that he made through the movie and they were really funny, and blatantly obvious, but I failed to catch a lot of them.
Selective attention in the classroom for example. Since you're in the room everyday with the same people and things aren't that different you can choose what to focus on and what to block out. For example when you're taking a test, you can choose to focus on the test in hand and block out the person next to you who is tapping their pencil on their desk. I've found this hard to do through my life because of my attention deficit disorder, but when I do focus on the task at hand, it's possible to block out certain things.
AOK Sense perception
Sensory attention and inattention blindness apply to sense perception because they're both about seeing and experiencing the things around you. Both also fall under interpreting what you see and what you catch and notice, like with inattention blindness and turning into information that makes sense in your head. With sensory attention, you sense what you're focusing on and everything around you and perceive it in a way that lets you choose what you want to block out from the environment. Inattention blindness is sense perception because even though you may not catch every detail, some details that are obvious you're still sensing what's around you and what you're experiencing and perceiving it in a way that makes sense. It may not make sense why you missed why you did, the second time around, but inattention blindness is still sense perception.

Gestalt principal
The Gestalt principal is seeing things how you want to see them not how they really are. The example in the text is spelling errors in different context and how people automatically correct the spelling error based on the context even though the word is clearly wrong. Like in a sentence about banking the person will read "chick" as "check" because their mind automatically assumes since the context has to do with banking.
an example that I see is song lyrics. The Gestalt principal applies to hearing song lyrics based on context even though those aren't the real lyrics. For example this one song by Panic! At The Disco is called "Hurricane" and it goes, "Drop our anchors in the storm," and then the lyrics are, "A fire in a flask to keep us warm" but for the longest time my friends and I thought that the lyrics were, "Fighting abreast to keep us warm" which is an example of the Gestalt principal because in the context of battling a water storm it makes sense.
