  3. SENSATION AND PERCEPTION

  4. SENSATION vs PERCEPTION SENSATION= The detection of physical energy PERCEPTION = The interpretation of sensory info. EXAMPLE: Seeing & Believing

  5. HOW do we Sense Things? SENSE RECEPTORS are cells located in the sense organs (eyes, ears, etc.) that convert _______________ energy to ______________ energy PHYSICAL ELECTRICAL SENSE RECEPTORS ▼ SENSORY NEURONS ▼ BRAIN CELLS I’m not the only one who has electrical currents running through my body!

  6. HMM?? Think for a second just how much sensory information your mind is receiving at any one moment

  7. INTERNET BRAIN How can your brain possibly make sense of all this information and interpret it properly?

  8. The Keys to Sensation Your brain interprets info. in 2 different ways 1) _____________________ your sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, etc.) send impulses along designated nerve pathways to specific parts of the brain. ► Tells the various senses apart! EXAMPLE:Eye info. goes to the visual cortex Anatomical Codes

  9. The Keys to Sensation Functional Codes 2) _____________________ rely on the fact that sensory neurons fire, or are inhibited from firing, only when presented with specific stimuli. ► Tells the difference between sensations WITHIN a particular sense! EXAMPLE:Color vs. Shape

  10. FUN TIME! What do you think might happen if your sensory neurons sent information to the wrong part of the brain?

  11. WEIRD, but TRUE! SYNESTHESIA • _______________: A rare condition in which stimulation of one sense also evokes a sensation in another In other words, a person might see sounds or smell colors EXAMPLE 1: A person may say that the aroma of cinnamon feels like velvet EXAMPLE 2: One might say that the sound of a clarinet tastes like cherries.
