Sensation, Perception and Consciousness
As you meet the daily activities of life, these stimuli that impinge on your sense organs and your experience of stimuli.
Sensation – is receiving the stimulation through our sense organs.
Perception – is becoming aware and interpreting the stimulation.
Perception Refers to the actual experience of the world. It is the process by which the brain interprets and organizes the information received by sense organs.
The Perceptual field
The most fundamental fact about our perceptual world is that it is divided into figure and ground – that which “sticks out” and that which is background.
Principles of Organizations A group of German psychologists stated the basic principles of organization in perception, known as Gestalt psychologists – emphasized the importance of form in perception and they took the point of view that shapes and forms need to be described by the organization of entire perceptual field.
Some of these Gestalt laws of organization are as follows:
1. Proximity and Resemblance
Things located close together in visual field tend to be grouped together. Proximity is the basis for the compelling organization, also occurs in auditory experiences in the form of temporal grouping. objects are grouped resemblance.
2. Good Form
Determined by innate organization in the perceptual system.
The Gestalt psychologist listed a number of criteria of good forms.
Among them are:
Continuation – as long as the eye can easily sweep along a line, continuation exists.
Symmetry – in simple forms, one part is the mirror image of another.
Closure – this refers to a tendency to complete a figure or to perceive a figure as closed or completed even though bits and pieces of contour are separated from one another.
3. Common Fate
Common fate is like the principle of similarity except that it has to do with motion.
