The sensation is the initial conscious response of the brain to the stimuli or it can be understood as the first step in the direction of perception, whereas perception is the second or say direct response to the sensation and an indirect response to the physical stimulus. Perception helps us make sense of our sensations. Sensations allow organisms to sense a face, and smell smoke when there is a fire
Perceptions on the other hand, require organizing and understanding the incoming sensation information Perception is how we interpret these sensations In order for sensations to be useful, we must first add meaning to those sensations, which create our perceptions of those sensations.
Sensation provides the raw sensory data that perception relies on, while perception gives meaning and context to the sensory inputs Perception builds upon sensation by organizing and interpreting the sensory information, allowing us to make sense of our surroundings. Our sensory receptors are constantly collecting information from the environment, however, it is how we interpret the information that affects how we interact with the world Perception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced.
Perception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced Sensory receptors are specialized neurones that respond to specific types of stimuli When sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor, sensation has occurred For example, light that enters the eye causes chemical changes in cells that line the back of the eye.
Then we consider the physical properties of light and sound stimuli, along with an overview of the basic structure and function of the major sensory systems. (1) sensations are the integral elements in perception. Sensations are things in our environment that are registered by the five major sensory organs Sensation is what we see, hear, smell, taste and feel
