Chapter Two
Sensation
and Perception
Sensation:-
Sensation is the reaction of stimulation. There are five senses: vision,
hearing, smell, taste and touch. But there are other kinds of senses like:-
1. Kinesthetic
sense: sense of body movement, posture and weight. This sense orients us in
space and enables us to control the movement of body parts.
2.Vestibular sense: sense of balance.
3. Internal
senses: like sense of hunger, thirst, nausea, ……etc.
It is possible to break up some of the other senses into two or more.
For example, touch includes four different senses (pressure, pain, warmth, and
cold) . Some times they are called the skin senses. Also the eye is a double
sense organ in that there are two sets of sensitive tissues, one that functions
in dim light and is colour blind, and another that takes care of daytime
vision.
Perception:-
Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory stimuli into meaningful patterns and
involves the combination of present sensory elements with the effect of past experience . The visual stimuli received
by your eyes when you look at a chair do not tell you that you are looking at a chair .They only communicate a
pattern of colour and shapes, and the
brain ,as a result of previous experience and learning, interprets this pattern
as a chair.
Often ,the sensation are from different sense organs, in the perception
of orange ,the actual sensation may be a round shape of colour . Previous
experience adds taste, smell ,impression of feel and weight .The brain organizes these present and past sensation
and holds them together by the word "organ" .
In early infancy ,it is
hypothesized, the infant perceives his environment as a mass of shapes, colours
and sound along with miscellaneous pressures, temperature, sensation, pain,
smell, and taste . One set of colour and shapes becomes identified with food
and warmth , other sets become associated with other experiences or people .The
infant explores his world by looking
,touching, and moving through it and he is continuously testing to learn what
it all means. Gradually he learns to
identify people and objects ,to locate
sounds.
