It is the interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment.

All perception involves signals in the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sense organs.

It is shaped by learning, memory, expectation, and attention.

Psychologists often distinguish between

Top-down approaches

Bottom-up approaches

In top-down approaches, knowledge or expectations are used to guide processing.

Bottom-up approaches, however, are more like the structuralize approach, piecing together data until a bigger picture is arrived at.

Template matching

Prototype theories

Feature-matching theories

All the theories come to end.

Now it is your turn to explore the pictures given in forthcoming slides…

Think wise and perceive the right thing.

The images and texts in this presentation are taken from internet sources like wikipedia.

And images are taken from an e-book named SOFT SKILLS KNOW YOURSELF.
