SENSATION & PERCEPTION

SENSATION Sensation— Experience of sensory stimulation. That is, the basic experience of stimulation of the body’s senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, balance, touch & pain.

PERCEPTION Perception— Process of creating meaningful patterns from raw sensory information.

ABSOLUTE THRESHOLDS… Absolute Thresholds—the least amount of energy that can be detected as stimulation 50 % of the time. – Simply put: is the smallest amount of a stimulus that a person can detect – Taste—1 gram of table salt in 500 liters of water – Smell—One drop of perfume diffused throughout a three-room apartment – Touch—The wing of a bee falling on your cheek from a height of 2 centimeters – Hearing—The tick of a watch from 20 feet away in quiet conditions – Vision— A candle flame seen from 30 miles on a clear, dark night.

PERCEPTUAL CONSISTENCY… Perceptual Consistency— The percentage of times that repeated raw sensory information is processed just as it was before.

UNINTENTIONAL BLINDNESS… Unintentional Blindness: occurs when a person fails to notice something that is in plain sight. This stimulus is usually unexpected but fully visible. Example: The gorilla experiment
