Question:
Application: Sensation and Perception Examined Sensation and perception play two complementary, but different roles in how you experience the world. Your sensory receptors and nervous system send information from your senses like room temperature or the smell of perfume to the brain in raw form. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information. Perception is what allows you to make meaning out of what you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. Factors like experiences, assumptions, and expectations help form perception. To Prepare for This Assignment: Review Module 6,”Dual Processing, Sleep, and Dreams.” Consider the importance of vision.
