Study Notes
Sensory Processes
- Sensory processes involve receiving a stimulus and transmitting it to the brain.
- A stimulus is turned into a physical impulse and then converted into a neural impulse by the brain.
Perceptual Organization
- The brain combines sensory data with existing knowledge, creating a cohesive perception of objects and patterns.
- Sensory data is combined according to Gestalt principles, which describe how humans mentally organize patterns.
Identification and Recognition
- The brain assigns meaning to perceived stimuli, leading to identification or recognition.
- Meaning is derived by matching sensory data to existing knowledge.
Factors Influencing Perception
- Individual Factors: Past experiences, moods, personality traits (e.g., emotions/feelings, attitudes).
- Social Factors: Social values, norms, expectations from others, presence of others.
