Perception and Attention
Perception and Attention
Sensation and Perception
Senses effect a person’s brain information reflecting on the way a person perceives information. The five major senses are vision, audition, touch, taste, and smell. If one or more of a person’s senses is not working properly then it can affect their perception. According to Robinson-Reigler and Robinson-Reigler (2008), "early selection theories propose that the processes whereby we designate information for further processing occur as the information is first registered by the senses". In order to remember things the person has to stay focused. According to Robinson-Reigler and Robinson-Reigler (2008), "because you simply can’t process all of the information in the environment at once, there needs to be some type of mechanisms for directing attention. In this paper the concept of perception will be defined. Also in this paper the perceptual organizational process will be broken down. The concept of attention will be defined within this paper. This paper will include an analysis of the nature of the attention processes. This paper will also explain the relationship between perception and attention.
Perception and attention have a relationship between each of these terms. A person must be focused on something so that they can learn about the object. The amount of attention that a person places on the object has an influence on the way that the person perceives the object. According to Robinson-Reigler and Robinson-Reigler (2008),”information doesn’t really have a long-term impact unless it is brought into the focus of our attention” . The longer a person focuses on the object the more likely it is for the object to become stored into the person’s long-term memory. Bayliss, Bartlett, Naughtin, and Kritikos (2011) completed a study about gaze perception and how it affects the social attention from one person to another person. Bayliss, Bartlett, Naughtin, and Kritikos (2011) stated, “the
