Sensory Perceptions

''Sensory Perceptions''

Provide at least three reasons for believing in the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information

Three reasons for believing in the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information is interpretation, perception, and knowledge. First interpretation is a communication process designed to the meaning of relationships of our culture and the way we raised. Interpretation is when one believes certain situations through one's own thoughts and beliefs. Next perception is one's sensory experience of the world around us and involves both the recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli (Saladin 2010). Knowledge is getting to know the world around us, which can include skills gained from experience or education; as well as information gained and facts. Knowledge is also defined as an acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report: knowledge of human nature (www.dictionary.com). This can refer to philosophical or practical of a topic. In addition, knowledge pertaining to accuracy and inaccuracy can be more or less official or methodical.

In the world our sensory experience comes through perception of recognizing the stimuli of the environment and the actions that comes with it (Bagley, 2004). Knowledge, perception, and interpretation are ways in which sensory information is collected and experienced, when it comes to the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information because people perceive information differently because what you can see as being true, it can't be true to others. Knowledge depends on the level of experience the person may have, and sensory data is what senses through hearing, touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. All information is from our senses in the brain, then organized and used for our activities. (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007).

Identify and describe at least three factors contributing to the accuracy of sensory data.

Sensory data is the senses, which are hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, sight, and feeling of motion, movement, and gravity B. Vazquez (2012). There are many ways our senses can be helpful by giving our brain the right information or can be deceptive by tricking our minds.

While other four senses (hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting, sight) are located in specific parts of the body, the sense of touch is found all over. This is because our sense of touch originates in the bottom layer of our skins called the dermis. The dermis is filled with many tiny nerve endings which give us information about the things with which our bodies come in contact.

Sense of hearing permits us to perceive the location of a sound by analyzing three elements of the situation. First, sounds out to one side always reach the nearer ear first. Onset time is a cue. Second, our head casts what is called a sound shadow. The ear that is further away will hear a slightly softer sound. Difference in loudness
