Sensation and perception are critical to survival and are separate events that, from the vantage point of the perceiver, feel like one single process. A sensation is a simple awareness that results from stimulation of a sense organ, whereas perception organizes, identifies, and interprets sensation at the level of the brain in order to form a mental representation. All sensory modalities depend on the process of transduction, which converts physical signals from the environment into neural signals carried by sensory neurons into the central nervous system.

In the 19th century, researchers developed psychophysics, an approach to studying perception that measures the strength of a stimulus and an observer’s sensitivity to that stimulus. These researchers developed procedures for measuring an observer’s absolute threshold, or the smallest intensity needed to just barely detect a stimulus, and the just noticeable difference (JND), or the smallest change in a stimulus that can just barely be detected. Signal detection theory represents a refinement of these basic approaches and allows researchers to distinguish between an observer’s perceptual sensitivity to a stimulus and criteria for making decisions about the stimulus. Sensory adaptation occurs because sensitivity to lengthy stimulation tends to decline over time. This process illustrates that the perceptual system is more sensitive to changes in stimulation than to constant levels of stimulation.

Sensory Adaptation in your life exercise:

■ You will need TWO (2) same size drinking glass, ONE containing a strong solution of water and sugar (4 tablespoons of water and1 1/2 tablespoon of sugar mixture), another ONE containing pure water.

■ First, take a sip of the sugar water and swirl it around in your mouths without swallowing. After a few seconds, the solution should taste less sweet. You can then swallow the concoction or spit it back in the original cup.

■ Next, you should drink from the cup containing fresh water.

After you have completed the exercise, answer the following item.

1. Describe how the freshwater taste in your mouth.

2. Explain how sensory adaption has occurred.

3. Come up with ONE exercise to demonstrate Sensory Adaption. Provide necessary steps to completing the exercise.
