2.05 Sensation and Perception Explain the role of each sensory system in human behavior. 1. Sight Sight allows humans to see their physical environment. This sense helps us to make judgements and navigate our environments more safely. People who are unable to see must rely on other senses to do those things.…
To understand better how the brain processes visual information, an understanding of, and a clear differentiation between sensation and perception is required. Before stimuli can be perceived or interpreted, it must first be sensed through the sense. Therefore, sensation is the stimulation of sense organs (i.e., eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin) and involves the absorption of energy, such as light and sound waves through the sensory organs, (Weiten, 1998). Perception refers to psychological processes in which the immediate organization and interpretation of sensations are involved (Riegler & Riegler, 2008) and “involves organizing and translating sensory input into something meaningful,” (Weiten, 1998, p. 123).…
1 Selective attention is concerned mainly with the selection of a limited number of stimuli or objects from a large number of stimuli. Sustained attention is concerned with concentration.…
Two of the most important sensory systems in human body are optical system and auditory system. Optical system or sometime called visual system involved in the process of taken amount of stimuli and transfer it into some figure that we can perceive as images that make senses. Auditory systems involved in sound wave that transduced by drum ear into some kind of vibration that eventually gets converted back into wave what we perceive as noise. There are a lot of similarities in their mechanisms of how they gather, carry and prepare those informations from sensory neurons. However, there are also a lots of differences on how each system operated and where does it takes information into difference area of the brain.…
Sound is a very important sense but it is not a required sense. Our neuron network dedicated to sound and parts of our brain that processes raw noise within our brains is merely 3%, while our vision and areas of our brain that processes vision is nearly 60% of our active neuron network. We have our primary and secondary auditory processing areas, but when it comes to vision we have our primary visual area, secondary visual area as well, however the key difference is that our brain uses nearly an additional 40% of active networks to process vision + touch, vision + motor function (hand eye), vision+ attention, vision + spacial recognition and vision + spacial navigation. Our optic nerves, which connect to our retinas, contain millions of fibers and a direct outgrowth from our brain. Our auditory nerves have a mere 30,000 in comparison.…
Except for your brain, the eyes are the most complex organ you possess. Your eyes are composed of over two million working parts and their coordinated action can instantaneously set in motion hundreds of muscles and organs in the body. Your eyes allow you to track a fly ball into a baseball glove. They can help you pick out the perfect color to paint your room. Your eyes can help you find your best friend at a crowded concert. These amazing organs process light in a way that allows us to perceive color, to judge depth, to sense movement, and to enjoy optical illusions. All these components of a visual scene mergeso we have one combined sensory experience.…
Our senses are there for our benefit. We must use them…
When the developmentalists study sensory skills, they are wanting to know what information the sensory organs receive. The common theme running through all of what we have read about sensory skills in chapter five is that newborns and young infants have far more sensory capacity than physicians or psychologists thought even as recently as a few decades ago. Perhaps because babies’ motor skills are so obviously poor, we assumed that their sensory skills were poor.…
The Vaaraamdian armies were covered in armors with metal helmets, spears and behind them were the quivers with arrows. They were waiting for their ruler’s command holding bows in the hands.…
Our human senses are the major and needed parts to help with Thinking or any bodily activity in general. No matter if we Disagree that our senses are accurate or weak we still use and need Them on a daily basis. Our sense of sight, hearing, touch, smell And Taste helps us guide ourselves to our thought destinations. If Human beings weren’t developed with any senses at all we would Not be able to experience a lot of many wonderful aspects through…
types of information from the eyes and the ears, and sends this on to other parts of the brain…
The human body is a unique and fascinating entity. There is not much notice taken of the features the human body is capable of. The brain is necessary to perform day-to-day actions, such as the ability to speak, and see amongst us. This brain is made up of simple mater (Pia mater, Arachnoid mater, Dura mater) and the cranial surface to protect the brain. We live our daily lives without acknowledging the importance of this organ, the brain, unless you’re a medical student of course! Despite that people go on with their daily activities using the human natural senses. Looking at the world through the eyes, watching for any danger around us; ears for hearing the sounds detecting something that may call for danger, the nose to smell the natural environment, touching and feeling surfaces to become familiar with the surrounding, and to taste the different foods that provide nourishment to stay healthy. All these senses are essential for survival, although what happens if one or more of these senses are taken away? Surviving the everyday world becomes just a little tougher and even impossible in other societies. The cranial nerves in the brain control these senses along with other bodily functions necessary to survive. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emerge from the brain out of various foramina or fissures from the cranium. Each cranial nerve contains sensory or motor fibers or a combination of these fivers to carry impulses from the brain to the various locations allowing the individual to perform normal human functions.…
The human brain is an adaptable organ which may or may not give an accurate view of the world. This may be the result of perception, interpretation, and/or knowledge. The definitions of perception, interpretation and knowledge are very similar being that when it comes to sensory information being accurate or not relies on how people perceive information differently. Many interpret things differently, because what you may see as being true, someone else may not. Knowledge depends on the level of experience the person may have, and sensory data is what you sense through hearing, touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, and feeling (Kirby & Goodpaster, pg 54). Sensory perception is crucial to a healthy, mobile body because the nerves in our body are sending feedback constantly (Baxter, 2013).…

Sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consist of sensory receptors, neural pathways and part of the brain involved in sensory perception. A sensory receptors is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal and external environment of an organism. A neural pathways serve to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system, compared to the local communication of grey matter. Commonly recognized sensory systems are those for vision (which is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by processing information that is contained in visible light), auditory (hearing), somatic sensation (touch), gustatory (taste), olfaction (smell) and vestibular (balance/movement).…
