Document Summary
09/21/2013 goal is to understand the human model, starting with the detectors the eyes, ears, skin receptors, and receptors in the nose and mouth and then moving on to the computer the brain. Studying perception can help you become more aware of the nature of your own perceptual experiences. You will learn as you study perception is that everything you see, hear, taste, feel, or smell is created by the mechanisms of your senses. perception depends on the properties of the sensory receptors. The road begins outside of you with stimuli in the environment trees, buildings, birds chirping, smells in the air. The road ends with the behavioral responses of perceiving, recognizing, and taking action. This journey is called the perception process which contains 7 steps. Must remember that this is a simplified process because we could go far beyond a tree to describe it much better.
