➔ Receptors sending their signals to neurons in the brain which
networks processing information and allowing you to perceive it.
• Stage 5 : Perception
➔ Btw stage 5 and 6 we have the interaction btw perceiving
something and recognizing
• Stage 6 : Recognition
• Stage 7 : Action
* * Bubble indicates knowledge involved with the stages ( 5/6)
What is Stimulus ? (1)
→ Environmental stimuli are all objects in the environment are
available to the observer.
What is the principle of transformation?
→ The stimulus and the perception of that stimulus are not the
same, there has been a transformation from the stimulus
( tree) , to electromagnetic energy ( light) , to electrical signals
( neural firing) .
What is transduction and receptor processes?
