1 wrz 2017 · A stimulus can be measured in many physical ways, including its size, duration, intensity, or wavelength. A sensation occurs anytime a stimu-lus activates one of your receptors. The sense organs detect physical changes in energy such as heat, light, sound, and physical pressure.
sensory studies involves a cultural approach to the study of the senses and a sensory approach to the study of culture. it treats the senses and sensations as both object of study and means of inquiry. By bringing a cultural approach to bear on the study of the senses, this work seeks
The five classic senses: • Vision (day, night) • Hearing • Taste • Smell • Touch (pressure, pain, warmth, cold); • in general there is very little “cross-talk” across the different sensory systems, although some rare cases of synethesia (stimulation produces a cross-modal percept) are reported.
After reading this unit, you will be able to: differentiate between sensation and perception; explain the nature of perception and its scope; explain the process of perception; identify the factors affecting perception; describe the laws of perceptual organization; of perceptual constancies; andexplain.
WHAT IS SENSATION? 3.1 How does sensation travel through the central nervous system, and why are some sensations ignored? Sensation occurs when special receptors in the sense organs—the eyes, ears, nose, skin, and taste buds—are activated, allowing various forms of outside stimuli to.
LESSON 3 reviews the other senses (e.g., gustation, olfaction, and somesthesis). LESSON 4 moves to perception, from the ability to sense a stimulus, to selecting and interpreting the stimulus.
Human senses translate physical energy into electrical signals by specialised receptor cells and transmit to our brain via specialised sensory nerves through which information about our environment is received. Our senses include vision, hearing, smell, taste and skin senses. The study of sensation is related to the initial contact between
