    Sensation and Perception

    • The absolute threshold for human hearing is 0 decibels, which is the minimum intensity of sound that an average person can detect.
    • An example of an internal sensory receptor is the baroreceptors, which detect changes in blood pressure.
    • The purpose of perception is to interpret and understand the information provided by our senses, giving meaning to our sensory experiences.
    • The term 'sensation' refers to the process of detecting and encoding sensory information from the environment, whereas perception is the interpretation of that information.
    • The absolute threshold for human vision is a single photon of light, which is the minimum amount of light that an average person can detect.
