Study Strategies

Sensation and Perception: Point to remember-We feel, see, hear, taste, and smell with our BRAIN, which can sense even without functioning senses.

Module 24 Learning Targets:

• I can describe the characteristics of air pressure waves that we hear as sound.
• I can explain how the ear transforms sound energy into neural messages.
• I can explain how we detect loudness, discriminate pitch, and locate sounds.

Module 23 Learning Targets:

• Describe Gestalt psychologist understanding of perceptual organization, and explain how figure-ground and how grouping principles contribute to our perceptions.
• Explain how we use binocular and monocular cues to perceive the world in three dimensions, and discuss how we perceive motion.
• Explain how perceptual constancies help us construct meaningful  perceptions.
• Describe what research on restored vision, sensory restriction, and perceptual adaptation reveals about experiences of perception.
