Document Summary
Define sensation and perception and explain the difference between them. Describe how perception is influenced by other forces. Describe the mcgurk effect and synesthesia, and what they tell us about perception. Light hitting retina, sound waves hitting ear, etc. Most of the time, light leads to vision, sound leads to hearing, etc. Sensation is determined by the nature of the sense receptor, not the stimulus. = the sensation of light in response to touching your eyeball (ie. close your eyes, poke them and should see flashes of light) If hitting your eye, should be light, if hitting your skin, should be touch, temperature, etc. Combination of senses can lead to different perceptual experience. If you see and hear something, as opposed to just perception seeing it, will have a different. What we hear is interpreted in line with what we say ie) hearing baaaaa but see his lips say fa (la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaa fuck xmas)
