Understanding Perceptual Interpretation

Easy Unit 3: Sensation & Perception Perceptual Interpretation

In the study of sensation and perception, the term 'perceptual interpretation' refers to how our brains make sense of sensory information and apply meaning to what we perceive. This process can significantly influence our experiences and reactions to stimuli. For example, consider how two people can perceive the same event differently based on their prior experiences, cultural background, and expectations. Understanding this concept is crucial in exploring how perception varies among individuals.
