UNIT 4: SENSATION AND PERCEPTION Sensation: your window to the world Sensation a process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus (or physical) energy and encode it as neural signals. Our sensory and perceptual processes work together to help us sort out complex processes Bottom-Up Processing analysis that begins with the sense receptors and works up to the brain?s integration of sensory information Top-Down Processing information processing guided by higher-level mental processes as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations The Absolute Threshold minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time. It is the intensity at which we can detect a stimulus half of the time

The term "Gestalt" means "whole" or "form." Gestalt psychology describes several principles of organization to explain sensation and perception as the process of grouping individual parts into a more meaningful whole You probably have seen Federal Express trucks rushing to deliver packages, but have you ever noticed the arrow shape in between the "E" and "x" letters? If not, go take at the log on their web site, or you may even have a package or letter laying around. See if you can spot the arrow.

Perception If sensation is the bottom-up process of converting environmental energy into central nervous system messages, perception is the top-down process to make sense of those messages. Computers and robots simply detect and respond based on a network of predetermined rules. As humans, our previous experiences, opinions, and expectations mold fundamental sensations into individual perceptions; foods have a personal taste, certain music inspires emotion, colors affect our moods. Selective attention, sometimes labeled the cocktail party effect, is the ability to focus our concentration on specific stimuli. We mask the chaos of surrounding sensations and focus our attention on what we interpret to be important.

Selective Attention – the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus, as in the cocktail party effect. Visual Capture – the tendency for vision to dominate the other senses. Gestalt – an organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasize our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes. Figure-Ground – the organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings. Grouping – the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups. Depth perception – the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance. Visual cliff – a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.

Sensation: the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment. Perception: the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events. Bottom-up processing: analysis that begins with the sense receptors and works up to the brain’s integration of sensory information. Top-down processing: information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations. Psychophysics: the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.
