Sensation and Perception Assignment Sheet

Target: Sensation and Perception: Point to remember-We feel, see hear, taste, and smell with our BRAIN, which can sense even without functioning senses.  Sensation refers to how we detect physical energy from the environment and encode it as neural signals.  Perception refers to how we select, organize and interpret this information.  Sensation provides the raw information that perception constructs into our experiences.

This unit will be answering the following questions:

What are sensation and perception? What do we mean by bottom-up processing and top-down processing?

What are the absolute and difference thresholds, and do stimuli below the absolute threshold have any influence?

What is the function of sensory adaptation?

What is the energy that we see as visual light?

What are the characteristics of air pressure waves that we hear as sound?

How do the eye and ear transform light and sound energy into neural messages?

How do we experience each of the body’s senses?

How do Gestalt psychologists understand perceptual organization?

How adaptable is our ability to perceive?
