8D perception

Question 1

sensory stimuli

Answer 1

raw pieces of information that are detected by the five senses

Question 2

SENSATION

Answer 2

process of receiving and detecting raw sensory stimuli via sensory organs and sending this information to the brain

Question 3

1. reception

Answer 3

process b the eye receive incomign light from external environment
— focuses it onto the retina when an image of the visual stimulus is captured

Question 4

2. transduction

Answer 4

process by the photo receptors (rods and cones) change electromagnetic energy (light) into electrical impulses (signals) which can travel along the optic nerve to the brain

Question 5

3. transmission

Answer 5

sending information in form of electrical impulses along the optic nerve to the brain

Question 6

PERCEPTION

Answer 6

process of selecting, organising and interpreting sensory information

Question 7

1. selection

Answer 7

attending to certain sensory stimuli or features of certain stimuli and excluding others
- WHAT IS ACTUALLY IMPORTANT

Question 8

2. organisation

Answer 8

assembling and arranging the features of visual images in a meaningful way

Question 9

3. interpretation

Answer 9

the process of assigning meaning to visual information so that what is being looked at ca be understood

Question 10

visual sensory system

Answer 10

network that is involved in the sensation and perception of visual stimuli
(eyes, brain and neural pathways connecting them - optic nerve)

Question 11

visual perception

Answer 11

process of becoming consciously aware of visual stimuli as a result of the interactions between the visual sensory system and the individuals internal and external environments

Question 12

GUSTATORY PERCEPTION

Answer 12

the process of becoming consciously aware of flavour
- sweet, bitter, umami, sour, salty

Question 13

gustatory receptors

Answer 13

sensory receptors for taste

Question 14

taste buds

Answer 14

clusters of gustatory receptors
- tastetants

Question 15

Primary gustatory cortex

Answer 15

sensory area in the parietal lobe responsible for receiving and processing tastes

Question 16

• bottom up processing

Answer 16

perception determiend by incoming sensory information - moving from specific stimulus information to general knowledge
- when information is complex and unclear
- BUILDING UP TO A PICTURE

Question 17

• top-down processing

Answer 17

perception driven by prior knowledge and expectations moving from general knowledge to specific stimulus information
- thinking of PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Question 18

Schemas

Answer 18

collection of basic knowledge about a conception of stimuli
- incoming sensory stimuli perceived as fitting with known schema
—- can change and updated
