Reason for sleep

Which of the following best defines sensation?

• The process of interpreting and organizing sensory information in the brain

• The detection of stimulus energy and conversion into electrochemical energy by sensory receptors

• The movement of muscles in response to a stimulus

• The storage of information in long-term memory

What is the main difference between sensation and perception?

• Sensation involves memory, while perception involves movement

• Sensation is the detection and conversion of stimulus energy, while perception is the interpretation of that energy in the brain

• Sensation occurs in the brain, while perception occurs in the muscles

• Sensation is voluntary, while perception is involuntary

Which of the following is NOT one of the three main steps involved in sensation?

• Reception

• Transduction

• Transmission

• Reflection

Arrange the following steps in the correct order as they occur in the sensation process: transmission, reception, transduction.

• Reception, transduction, transmission

• Transmission, reception, transduction

• Transduction, transmission, reception

• Reception, transmission, transduction

Why is transduction an essential step in the sensation process?

• It allows the brain to store information for later use

• It changes sensory information into electrochemical energy that can be transmitted to the brain

• It interprets the meaning of sensory information

• It blocks unnecessary sensory information from reaching the brain

Explain the difference between sensation and perception processes.

• Sensation is the process of detecting environmental stimuli, while perception is the interpretation of those stimuli.

• Sensation is the interpretation of stimuli, while perception is the detection of environmental stimuli.

• Sensation and perception are both the same process.

• Sensation is only related to vision, while perception is related to all senses.

Suggest why sensation and perception appear as one unified process.

• Because they occur simultaneously and are closely linked in the brain.

• Because they are completely unrelated processes.

• Because sensation happens after perception.

• Because perception does not require any sensory input.

What is the process called when information comes from our senses and receptors respond to the stimulus?

• Perception

• Sensation

• Interpretation

• Organisation

Which of the following is NOT one of the three stages of perception?

• Selection

• Organisation

• Transmission

• Interpretation

How is information from the senses transmitted to the brain for interpretation?

• Through mechanical energy

• Through electrochemical energy

• Through magnetic energy

• Through thermal energy
