Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception Lecture PowerPoint Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective, 2e © 2023 W. W. Norton & Company Study Unit 4.1 The Sensory Systems Receive - the Brain Perceives (1) Sensation: ??? Transduction:??? Perception:??? Study Unit 4.1 The Sensory Systems Receive - the Brain Perceives (1) Sensation and perception are distinct, though related processes. Sensation: The process by which our sensory organs receive stimulus energies from the environment and transduce them into the electrical energy of the nervous system. > - chemical into electrical Convert < convert vibrational to electrical ! Transduction: The transformation of sensory stimulus energy from the environment into neural impulses. Perception: The neural processing of electrical signals to form an internal mental representation inside your brain of what’s on the outside. Study Unit 4.1 The Sensory Systems Receive, While the Brain Perceives (2) Although all sensory information is transduced into the same type of electrical signals, the location of their connection to the brain determines how they are perceived. Ultimately, sensations merge in the brain to produce a complete perceptual experience.

Just-noticeable difference (JND) or difference threshold: The minimum difference required between two stimuli for an observer to detect a difference half the time. Study Unit 4.3 Difference Thresholds: The Just-Noticeable Difference (2) Perception of a stimulus change is not dependent on a fixed absolute value of change but a relative quantity of the stimulus magnitude. more stimulation (we identify difference can colours) more = ↓ in Weber’s law: The observation that the likelihood of perceiving a stimulus change is proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. More stimulation we have , able to identify the difference less likely we are (even though there's same magnitude) same ↑ ↑ looks the difference less stimulation (the colors not identify that much Study Unit 4.4 Sensory and Perceptual Adaptation (1) Sensation and perception demonstrate substantial variability within and between people.

Neurons change their sensitivity and selectivity with ↳ experience. the brain makes more stimulation , to recognize the difference in experience (sensitivity. & selectivity) Study Unit 4.4 Sensory and Perceptual Adaptation (2) Adaptation: A phenomenon whereby an individual stops noticing a stimulus that remains constant over time, resulting in enhanced detection of stimulus changes.

VISION Light is electromagnetic energy that is transformed into neural energy, which produces sight. Humans can visually sense only a small range of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy. Photons are the basic unit of all forms of electromagnetic energy. Photons have wavelike properties that vary to produce our various visual experiences. The three physical properties of light include wavelength, amplitude, and purity. um able to ionized cells. 6 Wavelength: The distance between any two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave. Variations determine the quality/color we perceive. -- Frequency: The number of cycles per second of a wave. o Relates to wavelength. o Higher frequencies = shorter wavelength. ↳ Amplitude: The height of the crests of a wave.

Our auditory perception can distinguish variations in frequency (pitch) and amplitude (loudness). Frequency theory: A theory of pitch perception stating that the brain uses the frequency of auditory sensory neuron firing to indicate pitch. o Best explains the perception of low-pitched sounds due to max. limitations. Place theory: A theory of pitch perception stating that different pitches arise from stimulation at different places along the basilar membrane. o Best explains the perception of high-pitched sounds Higher-amplitude vibrations → greater stimulation in the basilar membrane → higher frequency of hair cell firing. o A louder sound is perceived. Primary auditory cortex: The region of the temporal lobe where sound is processed. o Tonotopic organization: The arrangement of the auditory cortex such that nearby frequencies are processed near each other in the brain, resulting in a sound map. depending on pitch , where the cochlea is the cell stimulating of the stimulation , * depending specifically to - it's the connection depending on which region of cochlea is stimulating, in the map we compare it's also map the exact location/frequency. lobe temporal (more inferior) Sound Localization: Hearing Where Having two ears allows us to localize sound sources. Our brain compares information coming from each ear to determine relative timing (which ear receives first) and - intensity (which ear receives more). stimulation * Mainly in pons, the axons are crossing Sound Localization: Hearing Where which ear detects stimulation first. Comparing timing - Sounds coming from our right side will enter our right ear before our left ear (and vice versa). Comparing intensity Our head creates a “sound shadow” by blocking some of the sound, thus reducing the intensity of sound in the left ear when it comes from the right side (and vice versa) These minute differences in what the two ears sense allow for general localization of the sound source.
