Perception and Sensation: Key Factors and Processes
- Perception is the process of understanding the environment through senses, while sensation is the reception of stimuli by sense organs.
- Perception involves interpreting the meaning of stimuli, while sensation is the initial reception of the stimuli.
- Factors influencing perception include stimulus factors, personal factors, and social factors.
- Stimulus factors affecting perception include perceptual selectivity and perceptual organization.
- Perceptual organization involves organizing sensory experiences into integrated and meaningful wholes.
- Specific factors of perceptual organization include contrast, proximity, intensity, similarity, physical size, good form, motion, continuity, color, closure, changeability, and repetition of the stimulus.
- Personal factors influence perception, while social factors also play a role in shaping perception.
- Gestalt psychology emphasizes holistic perception and how individuals perceive the whole rather than the sum of its parts.
- Perceptual selectivity is the process of choosing certain stimuli for further processing while ignoring others.
- Perceptual organization involves the integration of bits and pieces of sensory experiences into meaningful and organized wholes.
- Contrast is a factor in perceptual organization, involving the perception of a distinct figure or stimulus.
- Understanding how perception and sensation are influenced by various factors is crucial in understanding human behavior and cognition.
