Visual perception and visual sensation are both interactive processes‚ although there is a significant difference between the two processes. Sensation is defined as the stimulation of sense organs Visual sensation is a physiological process which means that it is the same for everyone. We absorb energy such as electro magnetic energy (light) or sound waves by sensory organs such as eyes. This energy is then transduced into electro chemical energy by the cones and rods (receptor cells) in the retina

SENSATION AND PERCEPTION Sensation and perception plays two complimentary but totally different roles in how we interpret the world around us. Sensation is the process by which we sense our environment through touch‚ smell‚ sight‚ taste and smell. This raw information from our sensory organs is then transmitted to the brain where perception is made. Perception is our way of interpreting what these sensations mean and how to make sense of it. Sensory abilities are measure by the absolute threshold

Kimberly Asmann Chapter 3 Depth Perception September11‚ 2012 The topic that interested me the most from this chapter was Depth Perception. Images appear in two – dimensional form on the retina‚ amazingly we see a three – dimensional world. Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. No one sees their surroundings as being flat. An individual will see objects as either being farther away or at close range. Some objects will overlap each other.

Perception and Attention People will perceive the world not in the same way. For example‚ two people may look at a cloud‚ and they both may say they see two different things.

Attention aids the impact of information in a person ’s long-term memory (Robinson Riegler & Robinson-Riegler‚ 2008). This paper will define the concept of perception and the perceptual organizational
