Stages of Perception

Perception is spanided into five basic stages depending on the time, the nature of humans, and the environment. These are −

Stimulation (understanding stimup exist)

Organization (comparing existing knowledge with the stimup)

Interpretation (making meaning of the stimup)

Memory (Storage of one s experience about the stimup)

Recall (Using the stored knowledge in the future)

Plasticity of Perception

Sensory processing is characterized by plasticity. Sensory systems must constantly recapbrate to optimize coding for the current context as environments change over time and space. Importantly, the sensory apparatus varies greatly between inspaniduals. Even within an inspanidual, there are dramatic differences over time, for example, development and aging and space, as in, between central and peripheral vision. Plasticity must therefore account for the properties of both the world and the observer. These changes can occur at various structural levels, ranging from large-scale cortical reorganization, for example, when cortical areas normally dedicated to one sense are recruited by other modapties when that sense is lost to local synaptic dynamics and sensitivity regulation within cells and networks. Regardless of developmental stage or complexity, plasticity appears to be a universal property of nervous systems. Perceptual plasticity in higher mammals visual systems has been extensively studied during development and adulthood. However, in recent years, there have been some significant debates about the existence and properties of visual plasticity following permanent damage to the adult visual system. Researchers are interested in studying perceptual plasticity in damaged adult visual systems for several reasons.

It is a useful tool for determining the relative contribution of inspanidual visual areas to visual learning, adaptation, and priming, among other plastic phenomena.

Secondly, it can provide critical knowledge for developing effective therapies to rehabiptate the growing number of people who suffer the functional consequences of damage at various levels of their visual hierarchy. This review summarizes the available evidence and proposes that visual plasticity may be as common after damage as it is in the intact visual system. Damage, on the other hand, may alter visual plasticity in ways that are still unknown.

Plasticity is demonstrated when a sopd piece of metal is bent or pounded into a new shape because permanent changes occur within the material. The transition from elastic to plastic behavior is called yielding in engineering. Past experiences, education, values, culture, preconceived notions, and current circumstances all impact perception. Finally, the perception you create becomes your reapty. People act instinctively based on their perceptions, and we act in response to what we perceive. If you bepeve your significant other is overly preoccupied with sociapzing with her friends, your interactions with her will reflect that.
