Sensation and perception

Part of a series, this program offers insights into key concepts and principles of psychology through a focus on human experience. In this episode, students learn the key components of the main senses-vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Also explores how the brain creates perception and how emotions, needs and past experiences influence how each of us perceives the world around us.

"Explains how human beings construct reality from the raw material provided by the senses, and how the brain interprets and organizes this material into meaningful patterns. Analyzes the influence of expectations and emotional states on perception, and explores the biological and psychological factors in the perception and inhibition of pain."@en

"This program explains how we construct reality from raw material provided by our senses and interpreted and organized into meaningful patterns by our brains. The focus is on human vision, showing how the eye works, how the brain processes visual information, and how visual cues make our vision more effective."@en
"Our perception of the world around us enables us to build a model of reality. This program explains how we perceive the world in which we live. It explains the process of vision. Studies on sensation and perception have revealed that the brain uses two processing systems top-down and bottom-up which are explained. Our expectations, emotional state and stress level are all shown as having an impact on our perception. The program illustrates some simple optical illusions. Recent rese."@en
