- 1PerceptionPerception
- 2Definition of PerceptionPerception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced.
- 3Perception was derived fromThe word “perception” comes from the Latin words perceptio, percipio, and means “receiving, collecting, action of taking possession, and apprehension with the mind or senses.”
- 4For example, let's look at our perception of words.Each letter of the alphabet is in itself a singular letter. When we perceive words, we think of them as one singular unit that is made up of smaller parts called letters. It is through this organisation of letters into words that we are able to make something meaningful. That is, we perceive an entire word, and this word has a specific meaning that can be found in the dictionary.
- 5SensationSensation is a physical process, whereas perception is psychological. Although our perceptions are built from sensations, not all sensations result in perception. In fact, we often don’t perceive stimuli that remain relatively constant over prolonged periods of time. This is known as sensory adaptation.
- 6For example - Sensation :Your visual sensors (retinas) ‘see’ a furry face and moving tail.
- 7For example - Perception :Your ‘brain’ interprets your sensations, to recognize a happy dog.
- 8Another factor that affects sensation and perception isAttention
- 9Definition of AttentionAttention plays a significant role in determining what is sensed versus what is perceived.
- 10The perceptual processThe perceptual process begins with receiving stimuli from the environment and ends with our interpretation of those stimuli. This process is typically unconscious and happens hundreds of thousands of times a day.
- 11The stages of perceptual process1. Selection
2. Organization
3. Interpretation - 121. SelectionSelection is the process by which we attend to some stimuli in our environment and not others. Selection is often influenced by our personal motives, incentives, impulses, or drives to act a certain way.
- 13Perceptual expectancyPerceptual expectancy is a predisposition to perceive things in a certain way. It explains why we are more likely to selectively attend to some stimuli and not others.
- 142. OrganizationOrganization is the second stage of the perceptual process, is how we mentally arrange information into meaningful and digestible patterns.
- 15The Gestalt laws of groupingThe Gestalt laws of grouping are a set of principles in psychology that explain how humans naturally perceive stimuli as organized patterns and objects.
- 16Perceptual schemasPerceptual schemas help us organize impressions of people based on appearance, social roles, interaction, or other traits, while stereotypes help us systematize information so the information is easier to identify, recall, predict, and react to.
- 173. InterpretationInterpretation is the process through which we represent and understand stimuli. Once information is organized into categories, we superimpose it onto our lives to give them meaning.
- 18Interpretation of stimuliInterpretation of stimuli is subjective, which means that individuals can come to different conclusions about the exact same stimuli.
- 19Subjective interpretation of stimuliSubjective interpretation of stimuli is affected by individual values, needs, beliefs, experiences, expectations, self-concept, and other personal factors.
- 20Perceptual constancyPerceptual constancy refers to perceiving familiar objects as having standard shape, size, color, and location regardless of changes in the angle of perspective, distance, and lighting.
