Document Summary

The processing of information from the body or environment and its transformation into meaningful representations that can be used in the service of reasoning and action. Vision perception is the process of converting light information into information that can be used by a perceiver. Rods: the most light sensitive photoreceptor cells in the retina. Good for monochrome vision in low light (night vision) Correspond to short (blue), medium (green) and long wavelengths (red) Fewer cone cells exist for peripheral vision. Perspective: objects are smaller on the fovea as they get farther away. Occlusion: when one object is in front of another. Audition is the process of turning pressure waves in some medium (e. g. air or water) into an internal representation. Localization is done by processing the differences between the sounds in the two ears, somewhat like how depth is done with binocular vision. Using emitted sounds to determine spatial relationships in the world.
