Document Summary
Learning objectives: chapter 1: list and briefly discuss 3 reasons for studying perception, perception could be relevant to a career field after graduation, or even in grad school. It will be helpful in psychological fields but also areas involving medicine: the study of perception answers questions we have about how we interact with the world around us. How we perceive our surroundings has everything to do with how our senses interpret stimuli. It could also give you more appreciation for how your senses work and how much they do even for simple activities. Identify steps in the perceptual process and explain each step: the perceptual process begins first with an environmental stimulus. The different textures and colors of the stimulus will each reflect light in different ways.
