32. Describe the difference between sensation and perception.
Sensation is how our nervous system and sensory neurons process things. The stimulus energies they emit are received and then are represented by objects or subjects from the environment.
Perception is how the way in which we organize and interpret information from are sensory neurons. This allows us to realize meaningful objects and events from our daily lives.
Each and everyday we experience, sensation and perception. As time moves on though they can become hard to tell apart. This is because of them mixing into each other and becoming a continual process. In the world around us we use these to help decode the stimulations surrounding us.
