    This document defines sensation and perception and describes the different types of each. Sensation occurs when sensory receptors in the body respond to environmental stimuli and send neurological impulses to the brain. Perception is the process by which the brain selects, organizes, and interprets these sensory inputs. The types of sensation are visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and tactual. The types of perception are visual, auditory, touch, taste, and smell perception, each involving interpreting the corresponding sensory information.

    SENSATION
    DEFINITION: Sensation occurs when environmental stimuli
    cause sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue
    to respond and create a neurological impulse in the brain.
    In simple terms, sensation can be defined as what the sensory
    organs do.
    Sensation is also called as the gate ways of knowledge, because
    all our knowledge is based upon the functioning of sense organs.
    It is purely sensory knowledge , which does not have any
    relationship with any knowledge or awareness.
    TYPES OF SENSATION
    Visual Sensation: Visual sensation starts when light
    enters the eyes and stimulates our visual receptors
    Auditory Sensation: Auditory Sensation refers to a
    subjective hearing of something as, it provides spatial
    information and plays important role in spoken
    communication.
    Olfactory Sensation: The sensation that results when
    olfactory receptors in the nose are stimulated by
    particular chemicals in gaseous form.
    Taste Sensation: The sensation that results when
    taste buds in the tongue and throat convey information
    about the chemical composition of a soluble.
    Tactual Sensation: The faculty of perceiving ( via the
    skin) pressure, heat or Pain.
    PERCEPTION
     DEFINITION: the process of selecting, organizing and
    interpreting the information brought to the brain by the
    senses.
     When things come into contact with any of our sense
    organs, we feel sensation. When brain comes to know the
    form of these sensations, it come to know the stimulus fully.
    This cognitive experience of the brain is called perception.
     Example: Upon walking into a kitchen and smelling the
    scent of cinnamon rolls, the sensation is the scent receptors
    detecting the odor of cinnamon, but the perception may be “
    Mmm, this smells like the bread Grandma used to bake.
    TYPES OF PERCEPTION
    Visual Perception: The ability to interpret and make
    sense of visual of information such as, shape, color and
    movement. For example, perceiving difference between a
    tree and a rock on their shape and action.
    Auditory Perception: The ability to interpret and make
    sense of auditory information such as, sound and rhythm.
    For example, perceiving the difference between different
    musical instruments based on the sounds the produce
    Touch Perception: The ability to interpret and make sense
    of touch information such as, pressure temperature and
    texture For example perceiving the difference between a soft
    and a rough surface based on touch.
    Taste Perception: The ability to interpret and make sense
    of taste information such as, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter for
    example, perceiving the difference between different types of
    food based on taste.
    Smell perception: Also called olfaction, this is the ability to
