Document Summary

What is the difference between sensing and perceiving? sensation-occurs when a stimulus (e. g. , a sound, light, smell, touch or taste) is detected by receptors in your body. So, for example, your skin might sense a change in temperature, your eyes might sense an increase in orange light, your nose might sense the odor of smoke. Sensory organs like your eyes, ears, nose and tongue are designed to receive stimuli. perception-occurs when the brain receives the sensory input coming in from the body, organizes it, and interprets it. In our example, your eye senses green and brown light, long and round shapes, and you perceive a tree. What is a stimulus?
