Assignment 1: Sensory Perceptions PHI 210 Professor Carter Lauren Vinson Oct. 17, 2012 Human senses come in variety of ways from hearing, seeing, touching, feeling, and tasting. Our senses can also help with thinking and memory as well. When our senses help with our memory and thinking, it can make information accurate, and not false. Likewise, human senses do have its drawbacks. Being sick and tired can clutter human senses. We cannot smell certain things, due to the fact that our

Provide at least three (3) reasons for believing in the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information. (Kirby and Goodpaster 2007) said it all “There is nothing in the mind unless it first senses.” When we are first born our five senses are just starting to develop from the first taste of milk to hearing people speak, to even the touch of our mothers hand while feeding. At the time a baby is born they are not aware food will be important for them to survive or to be able to distinguish between

Sensation and perception play two complementary, but different roles in how you experience the world. Your sensory receptors and nervous system send information from your senses like room temperature or the smell of perfume to the brain in raw form. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information. Perception is what allows you to make meaning out of what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell. Factors

chin had a density of .33 mm and my left side had a density of .5 mm. Discussion The human body contains many different sensory receptors on our skin. The purpose of this lab was to determine the density of our own individual touch receptors in different parts of our body. Touch is the most sensitive and arguably the most important of our five senses. Unlike other sensory receptors, such as, smell, taste and sight, touch receptors are found throughout our bodies in different skin and muscle tissues

We receive information from the world via our senses. Each sense is distinct and different. Each sense provides us different experiences. Two people can be in the same situation but based on what they sense, they will each experience something different. Everyone relies upon their senses differently and some of the senses may be more accurate than others. I will discuss three reasons for believing in the accuracy of sensory data, three factors contributing to the accuracy of sensory data, and the

Sensory memory The sense organs have a limited ability to store information about the world in a fairly unprocessed way for less than a second. The visual system possesses iconic memory for visual stimuli such as shape, size, colour and location (but not meaning), whereas the hearing system has echoic memory for auditory stimuli. Coltheart et al. (1974) have argued that the momentary freezing of visual input allows us to select which aspects of the input should go on for further memory processing

separating these concepts. Sensation is the process in which sensory receptors are stimulated, producing nerve impulses that travel to the brain, which in turn interprets such impulses as a visual images, sound, taste, odor, touch, or pain. The physical stimulus present in the environment puts out energy that is absorbed by a sensory organ causing sensation. Perceptions is the when the brain performs organization of information it obtains from the neural impulses, and then begins the process

covering information regarding the senses, the reasons for believing in the accuracy of sensory. Identify and describe the factors of sensory data. The roles of memory of the evaluation and interpretation of sensory data. When you touch something hot, your senses send a message to your brain to tell you to move your hand so you won’t be burned. Your sense of smell can also tell you there is danger, when you smell smoke or any foul odor like gas, you can trust your accuracy of that sensory. Your sense
