KIN 360 Study Guide - Final Guide: Visual Acuity, Depth Perception, Presbyopia
Document Summary
Kin 360 assignment 3: sensation: sensation is sensory information and refers to the process of sensing our environment through our 5 senses and bringing that information from the outside world into our body and to the brain. Neural activity is triggered by a stimulus that activates a sensory receptor. This is a passive process, meaning that we do not have to be consciously engaging in a sensing" process: perception: perception attaches meaning to sensory stimuli. It is the process of selecting, processing, organizing, and integrating information received from the sensory receptors. Perception varies from one individual to the next and is largely based on past experiences. It"s basically the resolving power of the eye or ability to see two separate objects. For example, at 1 month it is 20/400, at 3 months it"s 20/100 to 20/200, at age 5 it is 20/30, at age 10 it is 20/20, and as an adult it is 20/20.
