The Cognitive Approach emphasizes that people are shaped (& differ from each other) because their perceptions & their thought processes differ. So understanding some background information on how we perceive things in our environment may help assist us in our understanding of the Cognitive approach. That is why we are now turning our attention to the topic of “Sensation & Perception,” a specialty area within Psychology that works at understanding how our senses work & how we perceive stimuli in the environment.
Introduction

The process by which physical energy is converted into sensory neural impulses.
Communication between the brain & the rest of the body occurs via neuron. We recently
learned how communication between neurons occurs electrochemically .

How sensation and perception work together?
Sensation occurs:• Sensory organs absorb energy from a
physical stimulus in the environment.• Sensory receptors convert this energy
into neural impulses and send them to the brain.
Perception follows:• The brain organizes the information
and translates it into something meaningful.

Structures of the Human Eye
![Page 10: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Vision Visual Pathways
Optic Nerve“Visual Pathway” that carries visual information from the eyeball to the brain.
![Page 11: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• When we see an object light reflected from the object passes through the pupil, an adjustable opening in the eye through which light enters.
• The iris is the colored structure on the surface of the eye, surrounding the pupil. When the light is dim, muscles widen the pupil to let in more light, and when the light is bright, the muscles narrow the pupil.
• After light passes through the pupil, it strikes the retina at the back surface of the eyeball. As light passes through the eye, the cornea and the lens focus the light on the retina .
![Page 12: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Visual Receptors cell • The visual receptors of the eye, specialized neurons
in the retina at the back of the eyeball, are so sensitive to light .
There are 2 types of visual receptors:
Rods and Cones• Cones are receptors adapted for colors vision,
daytime vision and detailed vision.
• Rods are receptors adapted for vision in dim light.
![Page 13: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The blind spot
It is called blind spot because there are no rods and cones on this area. So images that fall on this area of the retina are not “seen “

The auditory receptors cell• Ear contains snail shaped organ called
cochlea, which contains the receptors for hearing.
• Any sound waves entering into the ear, strikes the eardrum and vibrates it.
• the vibration passes through these bones to cochlea. The auditory nerve transmits impulse to the brain that results in hearing.
• When these auditory nerve fibers are damaged, a person suffers nerve deafness.
![Page 17: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The vestibular sense
In the inner ear adjacent to cochlea is a structure called vestibule.
Functions of The vestibular sense:• Maintain posture of body• Balance body• Detects head movement• Help us to keep our eyes fixated on a target
when head is moving.
![Page 19: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Kinesthetic Sense
Receptors located in our muscles and joints.
![Page 20: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Receptors are localized within the skin to detect physical stimuli in the outside world.Four classes of skin receptors:
• Touch: physical contact of objects with the skin.• Temperature of objects.• Pain: destruction of skin tissue.• Pressure :direct pressure on matrix ,bedsore
The Skin receptors cell
Touch Receptors are Nerve endings in the skin.

What is pain?• PAIN is an unpleasant sensory associated
with actual or potential tissue damage.• Any stimulus that is intense enough to cause
tissue damage is a stimulus for pain.
• There are two different path ways to the brain on which pain can travel information brought from nerve endings in the skin to the brain . They are: Fast pathway and slow pathway.
![Page 24: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Fast pathway:
It sends the information to the cortex in a fraction of a second. e.g. (usually sharp pain) - cutting your finger with a knife.
• slow pathways It sends information through the limbic
system which takes about 1-2 seconds longer than the faster pathway. e.g. burning.
![Page 25: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Factors in Pain Perception
• Expectations - research shows that our expectations about how much something will hurt can effect our perception.
• personality - people with negative types of personalities often have more pain.
• Mood - bad moods, angry, unhappy, etc, can lead to the experience of increased pain.
![Page 26: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Gate control theory of pain
• According to this theory the incoming pain must pass through a "gate" located in the spinal cord which determines what information about pain will be sent to the brain.
• So, it can be opened to allow pain through or closed to prevent pain from being perceived.
![Page 27: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Smell is the special sense that allows perception of odors through the stimulation of the olfactory nerve.
![Page 28: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How the smell receptors cell The air passes through the nasal cavity
and though a thick layer of mucous to the olfactory bulb .The receptor cells of the olfactory bulb detect and recognizesmells.
N.BThe olfactory bulb is a region of the brain
that lies just below the frontal lobes .(
Receptor cells in the
upper nostrils

SweetSour
SaltyBitter
Taste refers to the ability to detect the flavor of substances such as food and poisons.
Traditionally, Taste sensations consisted of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter tastes.
What is Taste
![Page 30: Dr. Amal Gamal Shehata Associate Professor RAK College of Dental Science VI Semester BDS 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b23a9e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Taste receptors cell
The receptor cells for taste in humans are found on the surface of the tongue, along the soft palate, and in the epithelium of the pharynx and epiglottis.
The taste receptors occurs in clusters, called taste buds
At the ends of the taste buds are short, hair like structure that extend out and make contact with the solution in the mouth which result in an electrical impulses travels to the brain.

PerceptionThe recognition of patterns
The process of recognition means our brain needs to determine what the relevant objects are and where?
The Perceptual process include selection ,organization and interpretation.
Failure of recognitionThe general term for such breakdowns or disorders in recognition is amnesia.
