Comparing The Sensation And Perception Course At Troy University

I will fulfill my dream of becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in five years. The Sensation and Perception course at Troy University has improved my understanding of sensory processing and assessment. Furthermore, it will help with intervention customization to create successful behavior plans, understand behavior analytic assessments, and stimulate interdisciplinary interaction with experts. Three topics I have learned about this term that made the most impact and that I will likely remember for many years are perception and sensation, which are necessary for learning and stimulus recognition. They affect our emotions and perceptions in the same way that people's behaviors affect our experiences. We can reliably evaluate information

Sensation involves the identification and representation of touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell stimuli from the environment. The brain then employs perception to make sense of the outside world and interpret these sensations. Learning, on the other hand, is the acquisition of information or skills through study, experience, or instruction. However, even in cases of sensory impairment, other senses can be enhanced or modified to facilitate learning. Resources and specialized training techniques are available to support individuals with sensory impairments. Sensation and perception work in tandem to enable us to comprehend sensory data and respond appropriately to our environment. Ludy Benjamin's statement, "If changes in physical stimuli always resulted in similar changes in perception of those stimuli, there would be no need for psychology; human perception could be wholly explained by the laws of the discipline of physics" (p. 120), underscores the role of psychology in interpreting sensory data. He argues that if changes in physical stimuli always led to similar changes in perception, psychology would be unnecessary. However, human perception involves how our brains interpret these physical stimuli, which are subjective and influenced by psychological factors. If physical laws solely dictated perception, all individuals would perceive every sensory input identically. Psychology, a

Sensations and perception enable us to make sense of the world around us. One psychological phenomenon where the emotional state or behaviors affect our own experiences is the ability of others' sentiments to "tilt" our sensations and perceptions. Attentional changes, social influence, and emotional contagion can all contribute to this. We may 'catch' emotions from others, such as happiness and satisfaction, known as emotional contagion. The term "social influence" describes how other people's attitudes and actions create standards or expectations that affect our perceptions and responses to various circumstances. Conversely, attentional changes can draw our attention to elements of an activity that we may not have seen otherwise, which could change how we perceive the activity. By comprehending these impacts, we better control how outside influences affect our perceptions and emotions and become more conscious of the reasons for our feelings in various
