interference
Motivated forgetting
decay theory
recognition
stimuli energy that is collected in the eye
transmission
organisation
interpretation
reception
stimulus energy is converted by the receptor cells into electrochemical nerve impulses
reception
selection
transduction
transmission
receptor cells send the nerve impulses to the primary sensory cortex where specialised receptor cells respond as the process of perception begins
reception
transmission
transduction
interpretation
we cannot attend to all surrounding stimulus, so we pick out ones that are important to us and pay attention to those
transduction
selections
interpretation
organisation
the information reaches the brain and is organised so that we are able to make sense of it
organisation
interpretation
reception
transmission
our past experiences, values and context give the stimulus meaning
reception
transduction
interpretation
organisation
