Cognitive Processes Relating to Sensation and Perception and How They Affect Thinking
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the fact that thinking, sensation, and perception are intimately linked and yet undeniably distinct from one another. One influences the other but one does not necessarily define the objective reality of the other. One of the most amazing examples is that in which an individual feels a great deal of pain in a leg or an arm that has actually been amputated from the person’s body. Is the sensation or the perception any less real even though that person understands that the limb is no longer part of him or her? However, other examples are equally valid and briefly presented in the paper. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
