In psychology, sensation and perception are stages of processing of the senses in human and animal systems, such as vision, audition and pain senses. These topics are considered part of psychology, and not anatomy or physiology, because processes in the brain so greatly affect the perception of a stimulus. Included in this topic is the study of illusions such as motion aftereffect, color constancy, auditory illusions, and depth perception. Sensation is the function of the low-level biochemical and neurological events that begin with the impinging of a stimulus upon the receptor cells of a sensory organ. Perception is the mental process or state that is reflected in statements like "I see a uniformly blue wall," representing awareness or understanding of the real-world cause of the sensory input. In other words, sensations are the first stages in the functioning of senses to represent stimuli from the environment, and perception is a higher brain function about interpreting events and objects in the world. Gestalt theorists believe that with the two together a person experiences a personal reality that is greater than the parts. From Wikipedia under the

Pure feeling. We probably only experience this in those moments, as when we first wake, the higher brain centers are not active yet. It is not really describable with words, since words represent concepts, and the level of sensation is non-conceptual. William James famously desribed it as a buzzing, blooming confusion. Perception: This is our typical mode of experience. It is sensation as organized by concepts. So when I look about, I see a red chair -- 'red' and 'chair' are both concepts. I see trees and green leaves and white snow, and so on. In each case, the raw sensory information has been organized into something… [cont.] Answered by Brian - Fri Aug 28 17:31:18 2009 What is Sensation and perception? Q.

Q. how does sensation and perception affect the five senses? Asked by skeetpearl - Fri Aug 14 01:00:55 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. "Sensations, as such, are not retained in man s memory, nor is man able to experience a pure isolated sensation. "A sensation is produced by the automatic reaction of a sense organ to a stimulus from the outside world; it lasts for the duration of the immediate moment, as long as the stimulus lasts and no longer. Sensations are an automatic response, an automatic form of knowledge, which a consciousness can neither seek nor evade. "The higher organisms possess a much more potent form of consciousness: they possess the faculty of retaining sensations, which is the faculty of perception. A perception is a group of sensations automatically retained and integrated by the brain of a living organism, which gives it the ability to be aware,… [cont.] Answered by 12 Syllogisms - Fri Aug 14 07:50:05 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "sensation and perception" |
