2. INTRODUCTION
TO UNDERSTAND THE PERCEPTION WE ARE
GOING TO DO A TOUR OF THE BRAIN:
a) The brainstem is responsible for basic life
support and controls heart rate and
breathing, temperature and the digestion
process.
b) The cerebellum responsible for
poise, balance and body position
c) Occipital lobe made up visual processing
areas.
d) The left temporal lobe dealing with sound
e) The parietal lobe mainly with functions
connected with movements, orientation and
recognition
f) The frontal lobesdeal with the most
integrated brain functions such as
thinking, conceptualising and planning.

3. SENSATION, PERCEPTION AND
COGNITION
 Sensation is the process through which sensory
receptors detect information and transmit this
information to our brains.
 Perception is the bridge between our concious
mind and thte external world.
 Cognition is knowing through the
formation, memorisation, and recall of ideas.

4. PERCEPTUAL SYSTEM
It has five functions:
 Inform
 Localise
 Determine
 Extract
 Retain
Debate: innate/experience
Information about changes in the environment are
continuously being sent to the CNS.
