PERCEPTION

Perception is a process which allows us to organise interpret and ultimately act upon sensory information coming to us from our outside world

 OR

Perception is a process of acquiring interpreting selecting and organising sensory information.

Perception is different from sensation. we all may be having same stimulus but our indivitual perception of it can be different. this is a consequence of our perception where our senses and past experience combines. For example two girls are walking down the street and they pass a boy. one girl think that he is highly fanciable, the other girl thinks otherwise.they both sense the same stimulus but there perception is different as a result of any past experience. the second girl may be a recent victim of any domestic violence so her percepion will be different because of her past exprience of men.

So here we can see that how perception becomes different from sensation.

All human being have 5 senses namely

1.Ear

2.Touch

3 Mouth

4.Eyes

5.Nose

 

These senses always react when ever we get attracted to any kind of product. If we go to buy a food item and when we will look at the product, then our senses will first start interpreting.with the help of these senses we can imagine about the food that how it will be.our eyes look its packaging, our nose will smell the taste, our mouth will be wanting to taste it and our ear can hear the sounds which is come when the food is heated and served.......All these reaction makes us attract more towards the food item and makes us more hungry for it.

So here we can see that how a food item can be analyzed completely with the help of senses

Below is the video to test a perception.
