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 lobesdeal 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.
