Sensation is the impact of external stimuli on our sensory receptors, while perception is our brain's interpretation of these sensory inputs. Transduction is the process where environmental stimuli are converted into neural impulses that are transmitted to the brain. The brain then processes these impulses to create useful information and meaning about the world. Key concepts in sensation and perception include absolute and difference thresholds, signal detection theory, and sensory adaptation in which we become less sensitive to unchanging stimuli over time.
This document discusses sensation and perception. It defines sensation as the passive process of bringing information from the outside world into the body and brain, while perception is the active process of interpreting that incoming information. It describes the different sensory systems including vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. For each sense, it explains the sensory receptors, transduction process, and thresholds for detection. It also discusses principles of sensation such as adaptation and difference thresholds.
This document provides an overview of a seminar on sensory deprivation presented by Ms. Jimol C. Varghese to nursing students. The seminar covered the concept of sensory stimulation and deprivation, including normal sensory perception, factors that can lead to sensory overload or deprivation, and the effects of sensory deprivation. The presentation included sections on the introduction, nature of sensory stimulation, sensory alterations, factors affecting sensory deprivation, signs of sensory deprivation, and the role of nurses in addressing sensory deprivation in hospital settings. The overall objective was for students to gain knowledge on sensory deprivation that can be applied in nursing practice and care.
The document provides information about a seminar on sensory deprivation presented by Mrs. Parmass. The objective of the seminar was to help students gain knowledge about sensory deprivation and how to apply it in nursing practice. The seminar covered topics like the nature of sensory stimulation, normal sensory perception, factors that influence sensory deprivation, effects of sensory deprivation, signs of altered sensory perception, and the nurse's role in caring for patients experiencing sensory deprivation.
Sensation involves the detection of external or internal stimuli by sensory receptors, while perception is the interpretation and organization of sensory information. Sensation occurs via visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, somatosensory, and other sensory systems. Absolute threshold is the minimum stimulus level detectable by senses, while subliminal threshold is below conscious awareness. Perception involves internal and external factors and organizing sensations via Gestalt laws and past experiences. Disorders can impact sensation and perception, including reduced sensitivity, hallucinations, or inability to recognize stimuli.
Sensation, Perception, and Attention document discusses:
1) Sensation is the initial detection of stimuli by the senses and sensation occurs when receptors in sense organs like eyes and ears are activated.
2) Perception involves higher-order cognitive interpretation of sensory information. It is the process of selecting, organizing and interpreting sensory input.
3) Attention is the cognitive process of concentrating on a subset of available information. It involves selectively focusing on certain environmental cues while ignoring others.
Sensation is the process of detecting stimuli through the senses, while perception involves interpreting and organizing those sensory inputs. Sensation is bottom-up processing, while perception involves top-down processing using memories and experiences. The document defines key concepts like absolute threshold, difference threshold, and signal detection theory, and describes how the different senses of vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch detect and process stimuli.

This document discusses types of thinking and models of consciousness. It describes controlled vs automatic thinking and defines schemas and priming. It contrasts the Freudian view of the unconscious, which involves repressed memories, with the cognitive view of the unconscious involving mental processes that influence behavior outside of awareness. Evidence from studies on readiness potentials and subjective relocation in time suggest that consciousness does not initiate actions but rather rationalizes decisions after the fact and projects awareness backward in time.
The document discusses several topics related to human senses and perception. It begins by describing the basic processes of sensation, including transduction, adaptation, and the differences between sensations and perceptions. It then provides details on the structure and function of the eye, ear, skin receptors, taste, smell, touch, and pain. Rules of perceptual organization like figure-ground and principles of depth perception are explained. The document also covers illusions and how they demonstrate that perception does not always match objective reality.

2 Sensation .pptx
1. Sensation and Perception
Sensation
• Sensation is the impact of a stimulus on
receptor cells in our sensory organs: the eyes,
ears, nose, tongue, and fingertips (among
other parts of the body that sense
feeling/touch). Stimuli from the environment
are transformed into neural signals
2. Perception
• Perception is the mental process of understanding
the sensory input received in our brains: it is
awareness or understanding of the real-world cause
of the sensory input. The neural signals we receive
from our sensory organs are processed in the brain,
and the brain creates useful information and
meaning about the world around us.
• The mental process by which the brain organizes and
interprets sensory information.
3. Transduction
• Transduction is the process of turning
environmental information into neural impulses.
• In the eyes, light waves create neural impulses
• In the nose, chemical reactions from gaseous
molecules create neural impulses
• On the tongue, chemical reactions create neural
impulses
• In the ear, sound waves create neural impulses
• Within the skin, pressure, pain, and temperature
create neural impulses
4. Transduction
• Transduction Information gathered from your
sensory organs is converted into neural
impulses that are carried through the
peripheral nervous system to your brain. After
this process of “transduction” has occurred,
the brain can convert the impulses into
information.
6. Measuring Senses
Absolute Threshold
• The smallest quantity of physical energy that
can be reliably detected by an observer.
Difference Threshold
• The smallest difference in stimulation that can
be reliably detected by an observer when two
stimuli are compared;
• Also called Just Noticeable Difference (JND).
7. Signal-Detection Theory
• It is impossible to process every simultaneous
stimulus equally in our brains. Instead, we focus
our attention on certain things while at the same
time attempting to ignore the flood of
information entering our senses. When we do
this, we are making a determination as to what is
important to sense and what should be in the
background. This concept is referred to as signal
detection because we detect what we want to
focus on, and ignore or minimize everything else.
8. Signal-Detection Theory
• Signal Detection Theory Signal detection theory is
also about our individual ability to recognize a
stimulus when others are present. Will you hear
your phone ring if music is playing on the radio?
Your ability to recognize a stimulus is called a
“hit”: failure to recognize one is called a “miss.”
You can also experience a “false alarm” if you
think you noticed a stimulus, but there was
actually none present (like when you think your
phone rang, but it really didn’t)! Signals
10. Sensory Adaptation and Deprivation
• Adaptation
– The reduction or disappearance of sensory
responsiveness when stimulation is unchanging or
repetitious.
– Prevents us from having to continuously respond
to unimportant information.
• Deprivation
– The absence of normal levels of sensory
stimulation.
11. Sensory Adaptation
• Sensory adaptation is our ability become to less
sensitive to an unchanging stimulus. Ever wonder
why we notice certain smells or sounds right
away and then after a while they fade into the
background? If a stimulus has become redundant
or remains unchanged for an extended period of
time, we begin to ignore it. Without sensory
adaptation, you would feel the constant pressure
of clothes on your body - you would be
bombarded with sensory information.
12. Sensory Overload
• Overstimulation of the senses.
• occurs when one or more of the body's senses
experiences over-stimulation from the
environment. There are many environmental
elements that affect an individual.
• Examples of these elements are crowding, noise,
mass media, technology.
• Can use selective attention to reduce sensory
overload.
– Selective attention
• The focusing of attention on selected aspects of the
environment and the blocking out of others.
13. Perception is the organization,
identification, and interpretation of
sensory information in order to
represent and understand the
presented information, or the
environment.
