Take a example of hearing .
Suppose you hear maw....maw .....(cat sound)
1)Through Ear you hear ... That maw....maw.... Is *stimulus* for you because it evoke you to respond ....
Eg. Hand in fire .... Fire is stimulus ...
2) sensation :- when you r in kitchen and someone cooking ..
You smells ... And try to recollect thing .. that something is going on in kitchen ... It may be cooking or it may be dead rat smell or rotten egg ...
Similarly . When bike rider going fast next to you without awareness of you ...
You think something was gone from this way ...it may be bike or may be car ...
That your ability to feel what happen around you is* sensation*
3) transduction ..:- it is converting on type of energy to other ..
You hear maw..maw..
Wavefront forms travels from cat to your ear ...in sound form ...
When it strikes to tympanic membrane ... By help of ear ossicle mallus- incus-stapes get convert into mechanical energy ...
In inner ear it again changes to electric potential by help of endolymph n perilymph fluid movement in organ of corti
It goes to temporal lobe ..
Here,
Ear ossicle and organ of corti act like transducer ...
4) transmission :- it is transfer in simple terms ..
From one point to other .
Like ..maw...maw.. transmitted through Air ...to ear
In ear transmission through ear ossicle...n electric current .
All r example of transmission
5) perception :- ..
It is what you perceive when stimulus is given
Ex. Maw...maw...
One person never heard cat sound ...
His perception to this maw...maw...is it might be some children sound, or lady sound ..
But who has previous store memory of cat sound he immediately recognize or perceived it as cat ...
Perception is different for different person on his previous experience..
Man has rope in his hand ...one person see it as rope (previous experience). Other person see it as snake ( false perception due to mental condition called hallucinations.
