Document Summary
Two sides of the coin: sensation and perception. The message is relayed through the auditory nerve. In volley theory = groups of neurons stagger their responses to follow a pitch. Our body senses: touch, body position and balance. We are typically unaware of our sense of equilibrium. 4. 9 explain how pain perception differs from touch perception: a large emotional component to pain perception that is not present with touch, pain information activates parts of the limbic system in addition to the somatosensory cortex. 4. 11 describe how our minds build up perceptions. Information travels from the primary sensory cortex to the secondary sensory cortex, and then on to association cortex: p(cid:396)o(cid:272)ess (cid:373)a(cid:374)y diffe(cid:396)e(cid:374)t i(cid:374)puts si(cid:373)ulta(cid:374)eously, a phe(cid:374)o(cid:373)e(cid:374)o(cid:374) (cid:272)alled (cid:858)pa(cid:396)allel p(cid:396)o(cid:272)essi(cid:374)g(cid:859, perceptual constancy allows us to perceive stimuli across varied conditions. In addition to sensory inputs, our perceptual sets and expectations influence our perceptions.
