Essay on Perceptual Filters

Of the five senses that humans employ in everyday life, taste and sight are two of the more interesting senses. They are continually developed throughout our entire lives and we are exposed to new sights and tastes everyday. Many people think that our senses are all unique and independent of each other, but taste and sight are surprising similar in many aspects, such as their development. Not only are taste and sight developed similarly, but they are also affected by familiarity, socialization, and memory. Although many people in the world believe that all our senses are different in function and development, taste and sight have a unique connection between the two senses that makes them very similar.

An individual with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has sensory processing dysfunctions, one of these dysfunctions relates to hearing (auditory input). The structures of the ear make it possible for the hearing receptors to be activated by the vibrations that sound produces. These receptors process the sounds; thus, allowing the brain to distinguish and then interpret them (i.e., speech, noise or music).

ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to defend a broad concept of visual perception, according to which it is a sufficient condition for visual perception that subjects receive visual information in a way which enables them to give reliably correct answers about the objects presented to them. According to this view, blindsight, non-epistemic seeing, and conscious visual experience count as proper types of visual perception. This leads to two consequences concerning the role of the phenomenal qualities of visual experiences. First, phenomenal qualities are not necessary in order to see something, because in the case of blindsight, subjects can see objects without experiences phenomenal

The aim of this study was to further investigate whether the interpretation of an ambiguous stimulus is influenced by immediate past experience, and, therefore, by the establishment of a perceptual set. It is based on an experiment conducted by Bugelski and Alampay (1961).

This affects people’s thoughts and emotions because if you change the way you think and change your emotions positively, it can give you a higher chance to succeed. In the article “This is how your thoughts become your reality”, it talks about different ways you can change your emotions positively. If you let bad beliefs get in your way, change them. Letting bad beliefs get in the way can change the way you think so you will have a better chance of succeeding. Creating a more positive outlook on things can lead to a better outcome.

I think the perceptual filter, media, had the most impact on how we see the world. In this day and age, we have an app for everything and there’s always gossip on every single one of them. In my opinion the campaigns for the US election was the worst. We had to be pick a president for our country and the two did nothing but bash each other ON THE MEDIA. From the media all I got out of the election was I either had to vote for a man who made women out to be victims and had no respect for them or a woman who should have been in prison already and lies so she looks like a good person. It was terrible.

The perception of emotions is an important topic to study because the ability to discern emotions plays a critical role in an individual 's cognitive growth, their reasoning, behavior idiosyncrasies and the essential key of survival. Perception is the a central element to emotions, meaning that countless emotions that an individual faces occur directly upon the perception of intensely expressive to a certain stimuli. We are aware that our mood affects how we perceive the emotions of those in our surroundings and the environments we are in, but also age has a big impact as well.

What I learned about the sense sight is, that the brain uses sets of neurons to decipher images. The neurons used by the brain are called Visual Maps. One visual map is receptive to color and form, while another visual map is only receptive to motion or movement. Another interesting fact that I got from the article was, that there are small cells in the back of the eyeballs called cones. Cones enable the ability for one to see colors. Damage, or mutations in Cone Cells can cause one to be colorblind.

Perception is defined as how you look at others and the world around you. Being able to select, organize and intercept information starts the perceptual process. Perception affects the way people communicate with others. An individual’s pattern of thinking can affect their perception of others. Most people communicate best with people of similar cultures.
