This document discusses different types of perception including sound perception, touch perception, taste perception, and social perception. It explains that sound perception allows us to understand language by interpreting sounds. Touch perception enables us to identify 3D objects through exploratory procedures like movement of the fingers. Taste perception is the ability to detect the five basic tastes of sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami. The document also discusses other senses, internal senses, social perception, and defines hallucinations as perceptual events accepted as real but not corresponding to reality, while illusions are errors caused by environmental stimuli.

5. Types of Perception.
1. Sound
2. Touch
3. Taste
4. Other Senses
5. Of the Social world

6. • Speech perception is the process by which the
sounds of language are heard, interpreted and
understood.
• The sound of a word can vary widely
according to words around it and the tempo
of the speech, as well as the physical
characteristics, accent and mood of the
speaker.

7. • People can rapidly and accurately identify
three-dimensional objects by touch.
• This involves exploratory procedures, such as
moving the fingers over the outer surface of
the object or holding the entire object in the
hand.

8. • Taste is the ability to perceive the flavor of
substances including, but not limited to, food.
• There are five primary
tastes: sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltine
ss, and umami . Other tastes can be mimicked
by combining these basic tastes.

9. • Other senses enable perception of body
balance, acceleration, gravity, position of body
parts, temperature, pain, time.
• perception of internal senses such as
suffocation, gag reflex, intestinal distension.

10. • Social perception is the part of perception that
allows people to understand the individuals
and groups of their social world.

11. Our perceptual
processes are
synthetic, assembled
by the brain.

13. PERCEPTIONS
HALLUCINATIONS
ILLUSIONS

14. Hallucinations in general show the
creative nature of perceptual events.
A hallucination is a perceptual event
that is accepted as real although it
does not correspond to reality.
Hallucinations

15. * Illusions are persistent errors produced by an
environmental stimulus.
Illusions
*Even non-human animals see illusions much
the way humans do,
