Sensation & Perception
SensationThe stimulation of sensory receptors
(senses) and the transmission of sensory information to the brain
PerceptionPsychological process of how we interpret
sensory stimulation

Absolute Threshold: the weakest amount of stimulus that can be detected

Difference Threshold
Difference Threshold: Minimum amount of difference that can be detected between two stimuli, also called just noticeable
difference (JND).

Sensory Adaptation
• Decreased responsiveness to stimuli due to constant stimulation.

Parts of the eye
1. Cornea: Transparent tissue where light enters the eye.
2. Iris: Muscle that expands and contracts to change the size of the opening (pupil) for light.
3. Lens: Focuses the light rays on the retina.
4. Retina: Contains sensory receptors that process visual information and sends it to the brain.

Visual Information Processing
Optic nerves connect to the thalamus in the middle of the brain, and the thalamus
connects to the visual cortex.
![Page 15: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Optic Nerve, Blind Spot & Fovea
http://www.bergen.org
Optic nerve: Carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Blind Spot: Point where the optic nerve leaves the eye because there are no receptor cells located there. This creates a blind spot. Fovea: Central point in the retina around which the eye’s cones cluster.
![Page 16: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Test your Blind Spot
Use your textbook. Close your left eye, and fixate your right eye on the black dot. Move the page towards your eye and away from
your eye. At some point the car on the right will disappear due to a blind spot.

The Lens
Nearsightedness: A condition in which nearby objects are seen more clearly
than distant objects.
Farsightedness: A condition in which faraway objects are seen more clearly than near objects.

Vision : In the Brain
• Feature Detectors
We have specific cells that see the lines, motion, curves and other features of this turkey. These cells are called feature detectors.
![Page 22: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Parallel Processing
Processing of several aspects of the stimulus simultaneously is called parallel processing. The
brain divides a visual scene into subdivisions such as color, depth, form and movement etc.

Frequency (pitch): The dimension of
frequency determined by the wavelength
of sound.
Wavelength: The distance from
the peak of one wave to the peak
of the next.

Intensity (Loudness)
Intensity (Loudness):
Amount of energy in a wave,
determined by the amplitude, relates to the perceived
loudness.

The Ear
Outer Ear: Pinna. Collects sounds.
Middle Ear: Chamber between eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window.
Inner Ear: Innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs.
![Page 41: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Localization of Sounds
Because we have two ears, sounds that reach one ear faster than the other ear
cause us to localize the sound.
![Page 42: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Hearing Loss
Conduction Hearing Loss: Hearing loss caused by damage to the middle ear
Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea’s and inner ear. Also called nerve deafness.
![Page 43: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
DeafnessConduction Deafness
• Something goes wrong with the sound and the vibration on the way to the cochlea.
• You can replace the bones or get a hearing aid to help.
Nerve (sensorineural) Deafness
• The hair cells in the cochlea get damaged.
• Loud noises can cause this type of deafness.
• NO WAY to replace the hairs.
• Cochlea implant is possible.

Smell
Like taste, smell is a chemical sense. Odorants enter the nasal cavity to stimulate
5 million receptors to sense smell. Unlike taste, there are many different forms of
smell.
![Page 46: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Smell and Memories
The brain region for smell (in red) is
closely connected with the brain
regions involved with memory (limbic system). That is why strong memories are
made through the sense of smell.
![Page 47: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Taste
Traditionally, taste sensations consisted of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter tastes.
Recently, receptors for a fifth taste have been discovered called “Umami”.
Sweet Sour Salty Bitter Umami(Savory)

Taste
• We have bumps on our tongue called papillae.
• Taste buds are located on the papillae (they are actually all over the mouth).
• Sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
![Page 49: Ch 4 Sensation & Perception Sensation: your window to the world Perception: interpreting what comes in your window.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dce5503460f94ac2144/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Sensory Interaction
When one sense affects another sense, sensory interaction takes place. So, the
taste of strawberry interacts with its smell and its texture on the tongue to produce
flavor.

The Skin Sense: Touch
• Receptors located in our skin.• Pain, Pressure, Warmth &
Cold

51
Pain
Pain tells the body that something has gone wrong. Usually pain results from damage to the skin and other tissues. A rare disease exists in
which the afflicted person feels no pain.
Ashley Blocker (right) feels neither painnor extreme hot or cold.

Body Position and Movement
The sense of our body parts’ position and movement is called kinesthesis. The
vestibular sense monitors the head (and body’s) position.

Kinesthetic Sense
• Tells us where our body parts are.
• Receptors located in our muscles and joints.
Without the kinesthetic sense you could touch the button to make copies of your buttocks.
