Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception
![Page 2: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Is it Sensation or Perception?“In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned
from the bathroom and plunked myself down in the wrong booth, facing the wrong man. I remained unaware he was not my date even as my date (a stranger to me) accosted Wrong Booth Guy, and then stormed out of the Station. I can’t distinguish actors in movies and on TV. I do not recognize myself in photos or video. I can’t recognize my stepsons in the soccer pick-up line; I failed to determine which husband was mine at a party, in the mall, at the market”
This Patient has perfect 20/20 vision. Is this a sensation or a perception problem?
![Page 3: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What are Sensation and Perception?
• Sensation-the stimulation of sensory receptors and transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system, is normal.
•Perception- the process by which sensations are organized and interpreted to form an inner representation of the world, is almost normal.
• She recognizes people from their hair, etc., but not face
![Page 4: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Absolute Threshold
• Weakest amount of a stimulus that can be distinguished from no stimulus at all• Detected 50% of the time
![Page 5: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. Absolute Threshold
• Weakest amount of a stimulus that can be distinguished from no stimulus at all• Detected 50% of the time
![Page 6: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Difference Threshold
• Minimum difference in magnitude of two stimuli required to tell them apart• Detected 50% of the time
• Weber’s constant• Standard of difference
- Light – 2% of intensity - Weight – 2% of weight - Sound – one-third of 1% change in pitch (frequency) -Taste – 20% difference in saltiness
![Page 7: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Transduction & Adaptation• Sensory receptors-
detect and respond to one type of sensory stimuli- light, smell, etc.
• Transduction-the sensory receptors convert the sensory stimulation into neural impulses.
• After a time, the sensory receptors grow accustomed to constant, unchanging levels of stimulus-sights, smell, etc.- we notice it less & less- adaptation

• Cornea: The cornea is a clear white covering over the outside of the eye. It helps the eye focus like a lens on a camera.
• Iris: The iris is the part of your eye that has color. It gets bigger and smaller to let in different amounts of light.
• Pupil: Black opening in the middle of the eye. Light comes through this opening.
• Lens: The lens bends light. This helps the eye see close up and far away things.
• Retina: The retina has nerve cells called rods and cones that detect light. It is in the back of your eye.
• Optic Nerve: The optic nerve carries electrical signals from your retina to your brain so you can see.

8. Sound
• Sound waves require a medium; air or water• Sound waves compress and expand molecules of the
medium, creating vibrations• A single cycle of compression and expansion is one wave of sound
• Human ear is sensitive to sound waves with frequencies of 20 to 20,000 cycles per second

14. Perception of Loudness and Pitch
• Related to number of receptor neurons on the organ of Corti• Sounds are perceived as louder when more sensory neurons fire
![Page 46: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
15. Perception of Loudness and Pitch
• Place theory• Pitch is sensed according to place that vibrates
• Frequency theory• Pitch perceived on stimulation of impulses that match the frequency of
the sound
• Both theories work together

The Chemical Senses:Smell and Taste
![Page 49: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Smell
• Odors trigger receptor neurons in olfactory membrane• Odors are sample molecules of substances in the air
• Sensory information about odors is sent to the brain through the olfactory nerve
• Odor contributes to flavor of foods
![Page 50: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Taste
• Taste is sensed through taste cells• Receptor neurons on taste buds
• Four primary taste qualities• Sweet, sour, salty and bitter• Umami (fifth basic taste) – savory
• Flavor of food depends on odor, texture, temperature and taste
• Individuals have taste sensitivities
![Page 51: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Skin Senses
![Page 52: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Touch and Pressure
• Sensory receptors in skin fire when skin surface is touched• Active touching
• Some areas of the body are more sensitive• Nerve endings are more densely packed• More sensory cortex is devoted to perception of sensations
![Page 53: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Temperature
• Receptors are located just beneath the skin• Skin temperature increases – receptors for warmth fire• Skin temperature decreases – receptors for cold fire
• Sensations for temperature are relative
![Page 54: Chapter 4: Sensation and Perception. Is it Sensation or Perception? “In college, on a date at the Spaghetti Station, I returned from the bathroom and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bff01a28abf838cba796/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
