Intro to Psych Sensation and Perception #BPSU #CSBS #NewNOrmal
Summary
TLDRThe video introduces the basics of sensation and perception in psychology. Sensation refers to the awareness of stimuli through sensory organs, such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The process of transduction converts physical energy into neural signals. Perception involves organizing and interpreting sensory input to give it meaning. Key concepts include absolute threshold, the smallest level of stimulus detected 50% of the time, and sensory adaptation, which refers to reduced sensitivity to constant stimuli. The video emphasizes how perception can lead to misinterpretation of sensory information.

Q & A
What is the difference between sensation and perception?
-Sensation refers to the awareness of stimuli from the environment, which is raw information detected by sensory organs. Perception, on the other hand, is the process of organizing and interpreting this sensory input to make it meaningful.
What is transduction in the context of sensation and perception?
-Transduction is the process of converting physical energy, such as light or sound, into neural activity that can be processed by the brain.
What is the absolute threshold in sensation?
-The absolute threshold is the smallest level of stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time by a person’s sensory organs.
What is the difference between the absolute threshold and the difference threshold?
-The absolute threshold is the minimum level of stimulus that can be detected, while the difference threshold, also known as the just noticeable difference, is the smallest change in stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time.
What is sensory adaptation?
-Sensory adaptation refers to the diminished sensitivity to a stimulus after prolonged exposure. For example, if you are constantly exposed to a bad smell, you may eventually stop noticing it.
How does perception differ from sensation in terms of organization?
-Perception involves organizing sensory input into a meaningful context, whereas sensation is the raw detection of sensory stimuli. Perception also involves interpreting the input based on past experiences and context.
Can perception be inaccurate, and why?
-Yes, perception can be inaccurate due to misinterpretation or misorganization of sensory information. Even if the sensory input is the same, different people may organize and interpret the information differently, leading to errors in perception.
What is an example of sensory adaptation given in the script?
-An example of sensory adaptation is when you become so accustomed to a smell, like bad clothes odor, that you no longer notice it.
What role does perception play in making sensory information meaningful?
-Perception transforms raw sensory information into something meaningful by organizing and interpreting the input. It allows us to make sense of what we see, hear, touch, etc., beyond the basic detection of stimuli.
What might cause a misrepresentation or misinterpretation in perception?
-Misrepresentation or misinterpretation in perception can occur when the brain organizes sensory information incorrectly or based on inaccurate prior knowledge, leading to a misunderstanding of the stimuli.
Outlines
👁️ Sensation and Perception Overview
This paragraph introduces the concepts of sensation and perception in psychology. Sensation is defined as the raw awareness of stimuli from the environment through sensory organs such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The raw data from sensation undergoes a process called transduction, where physical energy is converted into neural signals. Perception is described as the organization and interpretation of these sensory inputs, transforming raw information into meaningful experiences. The paragraph also briefly touches on concepts such as absolute threshold, which refers to the smallest level of stimulus detectable 50% of the time.
🔎 Just Noticeable Differences and Sensory Adaptation
This section explores the concept of 'just noticeable differences' (JND) and sensory adaptation. JND refers to the minimum level of stimulation that can be detected 50% of the time. The paragraph explains sensory adaptation as diminished sensitivity to a constant stimulus, providing examples such as becoming accustomed to a bad smell over time. The discussion emphasizes that perception involves organizing and interpreting sensory input, turning raw data into meaningful information.
🌀 Misinterpretation in Perception
The final paragraph discusses how misinterpretation occurs during the process of perception. While sensation provides raw sensory data, perception can sometimes lead to errors in organizing and interpreting this information. The text emphasizes how the same sensory input can be processed differently, leading to misinterpretation of facts or details. It highlights the complexity of perception and how it shapes our understanding of the world.

Highlights
Introduction to sensation and perception: Sensation is our awareness of various stimuli from the environment, while perception involves organizing and interpreting sensory input.
Sensation is the raw information coming from the environment, received through sensory organs such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste.
Transduction is the process of converting physical energy into neural activity, which is essential in transforming stimuli into meaningful information.
Perception goes beyond sensation by organizing and interpreting incoming sensory input to make the raw information meaningful.
The concept of absolute threshold: This refers to the smallest level of stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time.
Just noticeable differences (difference threshold): This is the minimum level of stimulation that a person can detect, often referred to as the difference threshold.
Explanation of sensory adaptation: Diminished sensitivity to a stimulus due to constant exposure, as in the example of getting used to bad smells.
Sensation involves raw information, but perception organizes and interprets it to provide meaning.
Absolute threshold: Detecting the smallest stimulus 50% of the time.
Just noticeable difference: The minimum level of stimulation detected 50% of the time.
Sensory adaptation: Decreased sensitivity to a stimulus due to constant exposure.
The relationship between sensation and perception: Sensation is the raw data, and perception transforms it into meaningful information.
The importance of transduction: Converting physical energy to neural signals is essential for interpreting sensory input.
Sensory adaptation example: Adjusting to a bad smell after prolonged exposure.
Perception can lead to misinterpretation if the organization of sensory information is incorrect, even when the sensory data is accurate.

okay class welcome to the introduction
to psychology
this is sensation and perception
sensation in perception so sensation
is the our awareness the virus stimuli
coming from the environment
that is uh stimulation of our sensory
organs so facilitating sensory organ
so involved little i think the side the
hearing
touch smell and taste but then again
sensation is a raw information
[Music]
okay so the raw information coming from
our sensation
transduction transduction is the process
of converting
physical energy to neural
[Music]
for example
[Music]
and then converted it to
neural activity so this is the
transaction
and
and then the action okay so this is the
perception
about perception perception is
organizing
interpreting sensory input or incoming
information so
again incoming information sensory input
so guiding case sensation
the sensation is raw information
perception is a process of transduction
and then again perception
then the meaning becomes uh the
information i mean becomes
meaningful so this is the this is the
the the stages of uh
sensation to perception okay
deeper what is sensation uh involved
like for example absolute threshold
and it must have been an absolute
threshold an absolute threshold this is
the smallest level stimulus can be
detected
50 at the time
so a smallest level of stimulus
[Music]
so this is the absolute threshold the
smallest level of stimulus
that can be detected 50 of the time
okay the next one is
the just noticeable differences
anonymous a bit and just noticeable
differences
and just noticeable differences i think
then
difference threshold and difference
threshold a
tournament minimum level of stimulation
that a person can detect
fifty percent of the time okay bali
cannot
see absolute threshold the absolute
threshold
is the smallest level of the stimulus
that
can be detected fifty percent of the
time
see just noticeable difference is
minimum level of stimulation that a
person can detect
[Music]
[Music]
so this is the just noticeable
differences okay
so this is the minimum level of
simulation that person can detect 50
percent of the time
difference threshold next
weren't entirety antagonist sensory
adaptation
what is sensory adaptation
diminish sensitivity to a stimulus due
to a constant exposure to that
stimulus for example look at the figure
do i smell what sabine
not sure if clothes really smell
like nothing or i'm just used to bad
smell
so meaning
is
[Music]
foreign
that is sensory adaptation okay another
example is a sensory adaptation um
[Music]
[Music]
the absolute threshold the just
noticeable differences
and the sensory adaptation so don't type
apostles of perception again
no so perception should not be nothing
that the perception is the organizing
interpreting uh sensory input or the
incoming information
and the information becomes meaningful
the perception is the process of
organizing and interpreting the
incoming sensory
the sensory information are the same you
know
again misinterpretation
by organizing that information
same information same sensory
information
but the way we organize that information
so again
but the interpretation the
the misorganization of the
so this is uh the perception
again sensation
but we tend to misinterpret
some facts or some information
by organizing the information
but timeline organizational information
got coming from the sensation
miss representation misinterpretation
and that's it that is a perception
