Sensations:
What’s moving?
What colors are you seeing?
What sounds do you hear?
Can you feel the texture of your clothing?
Can you feel the pressure of the chair you’re sitting on?
Do you have any lingering tastes in your mouth?
What do you smell?

Sensation
The process by which our sensory systems (eyes, ears, etc) and nervous system receive stimuli from our environment

Perception
The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information

Bottom-Up Processing
Information processing that focuses on the raw material entering through the eyes, ears, and other organs of sensation

Isn’t it crazy that our brain processes light as something meaningful?
Sound waves can make us cry
Transduction: Conversion of one form of energy into another Taking sights, sounds, smells and converting it to neural
impulses that our brain can interpret

So what does it take for us to detect
something with our senses?

What is a threshold?
An edge or a boundary

Raise your hand when you can start hearing the sound
Then put it down when you stop hearing it

Did you see how we raised our hands at different times?

Absolute Threshold Definition: The minimum stimulation needed to detect a
particular stimulus
How far away do you think we have to be to hear your alarm clock?
How hard does someone have to touch you in order for you to feel them?
How strong does it have to be in order for you to smell someone’s “passed gas”?

Do other things affect how
good we are at sensing
something?
Like what? What could get in the way of us “sensing” something?

Signal Detection Theory (SDT)• A theory predicting how and when we detect the
presence of a faint stimulus amid background

• Depends partly on a person’s:
• Experience
• Expectations
• Motivation
• Level of fatigue

What about the stimuli that fall under our absolute threshold?
Even though we don’t detect them, can they still affect us?

Stimuli BELOW our absolute threshold
Can they influence us even if we aren’t aware of them?
