The perception process involves three steps: selection, sorting, and interpretation. In selection, our senses select certain stimuli from the environment to enter our awareness based on intensity, repetition, and change. In sorting, we organize and prioritize the selected information based on our experiences. In interpretation, we assign meaning to the sorted data by searching our memories and relating it to previous experiences. This three-step process of selection, sorting, and interpretation allows us to perceive and understand the world around us.

2. WHAT DO YOU SEE?Perception is the process of selecting, sorting and interpreting information inputs to produce meaning.OR WE COULD SAYwe chose what info we pay attention to,organize it and interpret it.

3. There are three steps in the perception processFirst, We selectSecond, We sortThird, We interpret data from our environment

4. FIRSTSelect data from the environmentselection inputs are the sensations received through all five of our senses.

5. All five senses are……………….Sight SmellHearingFeelingTaste

6. Our senses are like windows to the world through which information passes from the environment to ourselvesWhen we say select, we don’t mean just a conscious selection effort. Selection is actually more of an awareness process.The first stage of selection acts as a filtering mechanism. Most of the data we are exposed to filtered out, while some is selected o pass on to our awareness. From all the thousands of stimuli we are bombarded with at any one moment, we choose some to enter our awareness. Intense, repetitious or changing stimuli attract our attention and shape what we notice (select) and what we ignore.

7. SecondOrganize and prioritize the information and data that we have become aware of.We organize and prioritize the data so that certain information stands out over other information. This organization is based on our experiences and may not be shared by others. Each of us has a unique method of organizing.

8. ThirdWe manipulate the data to give meaning to the information that has been selected and sorted. All we have is data which makes no sense and has no meaning.We search our memory and assign meaning to the databased on its similarity to our previous experiences.Interpreting the data
