Question 3

Perception contributes to how we

is both

Answer 3

interact with others and space (awareness)

sensory and cognitive process

Question 4

Sensory perception(sensation)

is both a

Answer 4

Proprioception is

Kinesthesia is

Answer 5

level of function/dysfunction of each sensory process

body position

movement

Question 6

Cognitive Perception (def) is the ability to

Answer 6

process and understand sensory input, uses brain function (dorsal, ventral stream)

Question 7

Cognitive Perception depends on the following 4 factors which are

Answer 7

experience
knowledge
attention
motivation

Question 8

Sensory adaptation
is the

Answer 8

decreased awareness of sensory input when constant over a period of time

Question 9

Sensory adaptation will take the attentional parts of the brain and

allows

Answer 9

“filter out”, “ignore” or “suppress” some information

attention to other sensory stimuli

Question 10

Vision
takes into account the
