Can we fully sense and think at the same time?
No
As we sense, we may not yet have
the words to identify or explain what is happening because we have to think
Perception is both passive and…
active
Perception holds…
sensations in consciousness long enough to interpret them.
Perception operates to interpret…
space, dimension, and shape.
Holding senses in consciouness allows time to
find patterns, to organize and to interpret sensations.
Perception helps us
through physical world, detect dimensions, and identify sounds and location.

thinking is used to make “things” of nature and of events
We give a name to what we perceive thus
making it a thing we move in our head
Jean Piaget defined thinking as
an active process whereby ppl organize their perceptions of the world
when we can match precise words to inner experience, we
can better observe and think about that experience
Take in data =
sensing
Interpret the data =

Thinking
Thinking is an active process whereby people…
organize their perceptions of the world.
