Question

The brain's interpretation of neural impulses from receptors defines:

• A. Sensation
• B. Memory
• C. Perception
• D. Stimulation

Hint:

An easy way to distinguish: Sensation is what you feel, while perception is what you understand.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Sensation refers to the process of detecting environmental stimuli via sensory organs.

Perception, on the other hand, is the brain's ability to interpret, organize, and make sense of these sensory inputs, turning them into meaningful experiences or awareness.

• Sensation: Involves the initial detection of stimuli (e.g., light, sound, or touch).
• Perception: Involves higher-level processing to create awareness or understanding of sensory information.
