Understanding Transduction in Sensory Processes

Easy Unit 3: Sensation & Perception Sensory Processes

Sensation and perception play a vital role in how we interpret our environment. Sensory receptors are specialized cells responsible for converting stimuli from the environment into neural signals. One type of sensory process is known as 'transduction.' Which of the following is the correct description of transduction in the context of sensory processes?

The process of selective attention to certain stimuli while ignoring others.

The conversion of physical energy from the environment into neural impulses.

The brain's ability to organize and interpret sensory information.
