The question we're tasked with today asks us what is happening when sensory info is organized, interpreted, and experience consciously.
00:07
We're given four options, sensation, perception, and sensory adaptation.
00:12
The best way to approach this question is to define each option to the best of your ability in order to rule out what isn't the best option.
00:20
So i'm going to start off with looking at sensory adaptation.
00:23
Even though sensory adaptation does have the word sensory in it, it isn't specifically bound to.
00:30
To sensory stimuli.
00:31
It is actually defined by the decrease in sensitivity of constant stimuli.
00:38
A good way to remember this is looking at adaptation and thinking about evolution and how organisms biologically speaking begin to adapt their environment and stimuli such as harmful predators may not affect them as much because of their adaptations.
00:53
In the same way, we have, in psychology, we have a decreased sensitivity to stimuli that doesn't seem to be harmful towards us.
01:02
Hence, constant stimuli.
01:05
So this isn't our answer.

Going up, we have transduction...
