What Is Perception, and Why Is It Important?

Perception

A process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.

People’s behavior is based on their perception of what reality is, not on reality itself.

Human mind assembles, organizes and categorizes information

Perception is our sensory experience of the world around us and involves both the recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli. Through the perceptual process, we gain information about properties and elements of the environment that are critical to our survival. Perception not only creates our experience of the world around us; it allows us to act within our environment.

Perception includes the five senses;

touch, sight, taste smell and taste. It also includes what is known as proprioception, a set of senses involving the ability to detect changes in body positions and movements. It also involves the cognitive processes required to process information, such as recognizing the face of a friend or detecting a familiar scent.

The perceptual process allows us to experience the world around us. Take a moment to think of all the things you perceive on a daily basis. At any given moment, you might see familiar objects in your environment, feel the touch of objects and people against your skin, smell the aroma of a home-cooked meal and hear the sound of music playing in your next door neighbor's apartment. All of these things help make up our conscious experience and allow us to interact with the people and objects around us.

Perception Perception on Illusion

In this overview of perception and the perceptual process, we will learn more about how we go from detecting stimuli in the environment to actually taking action based on that information

Perception on Illusion Image

The figure has eight white circles, and in each circle there are three black lines. There are no lines between the circles; there is no cube. Most people, however, see a cube, either floating in front of a black sheet with white circles, or behind a black sheet with eight holes.

Probably a cube. Does it seem to be floating in front of a black background with white dots on it? Or, rather, to be lying behind a black sheet with holes punched into it? As to the cube itself, is the surface that seems closest to you angled up and to the left or angled down and to the right? Why see a cube at all? The image, of course, is actually flat on the page. You might swear that you can see the lines of the cube crossing

the black region, but they are not present in the image. There are only eight carefully positioned white dots, each containing a carefully

positioned set of three line segments.
