    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.
