Document Summary
Some things can easily be perceived (ie. sound, sight), so we hardly think of it. However, some parts can be difficult to process. Ie: an experiment where you test your smell. You blindfold someone and let them smell some obvious stuff, like oranges, but others are more difficult to figure out- that involves the perception, as different people perceive different things from the unidentifiable object. Slide 3: if you look at the middle horizontally, it"d look like 13, but vertically you would see it as b. This is related to the perception, as you decide what it ultimately looks like. This is an item that you see as something in your mind. Other things outside the raw sensory input are involved memory. You try to perceive something using memory to make sense out of it. Memory is active and helps you recognize things every second, and is part in producing perception.
