Term: 'sensation'
Definition: Sensation refers to the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment. Differences: Sensation is the initial capture of information, whereas perception is the interpretation of that information. Sensation involves detecting the presence of stimuli, while perception involves recognizing and assigning meaning to them.
Term: 'perception'
Definition: Perception is the process by which we organize, interpret, and give meaning to the sensory information we have experienced. Differences: Perception follows sensation and involves higher-order processes to interpret sensory input. Perception is subjective and influenced by experience, while sensation is objective and direct.
