- Define sensation and perception. Do we have direct contact with our world, or is the world as we know it filtered through our senses? How does the way that we perceive the world influence our mental processes and behavior? Do you think that what we perceive is actually “out there,” or is it what our brain perceives? In other words, can we be mistaken about what we see?arrow_forwardHow does the brain perceive the intensity of a stimulus?The type of stimulus?arrow_forward
