Transduction
Psychology ⇒ Sensation and Perception
Transduction starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Transduction.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Context: A person is unable to hear high-pitched sounds due to damage in their cochlea. Which aspect of transduction is affected?
Context: A person touches a hot surface and quickly withdraws their hand. Which process allows the sensation of heat to be detected and sent to the brain?

Fill in the blank: In the auditory system, the ________ are responsible for transducing mechanical vibrations into neural signals.
Fill in the blank: In the gustatory system, transduction occurs when chemicals from food interact with ________ on the tongue.
Fill in the blank: In the process of hearing, the ________ membrane vibrates and initiates transduction in the cochlea.
Fill in the blank: In the process of transduction, physical energy is converted into ________ energy.
True or False: All sensory receptors transduce the same type of energy.
