Process by which our sense organs receive info from the environment

Process by which physical energy is converted into sensory neural impulses

Process by which the brain selects, organizes, and interprets information

Individual parts, no prior experience

Reduction in sensitivity after prolonged exposure to a stimulus

Intentional Blindness

Failure to notice something that is completely visible because of lack of attention

JND constants fraction of og stimulus and bigger stimulus require larger differences; minimal difference in stimuli required to detect difference between two stimuli

Tendency to adjust our perception to surrounding context(circles)
