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.
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.
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.
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 become neural signals in the brain.
Interoception is key to co and self regulation. Poor interoception leads to meltdowns, shutdowns and ‘survival behaviour’. Good interoception improves learning and engagement. The parasympathetic (calming down) and sympathetic (fight/flight/freeze) systems cannot be increasing at the same time.
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.
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
