sensation
the detection of physical energy emitted or reflected by physical objects; its occurs when energy of the external environment or body stimulates receptors of the sense organs .
perception
the progress by which the brain organizes and interprets sensory information.
absolute threshold
the smallest amount of energy that a person can detect reliably half of the time
sensory deprivation
the absence of normal levels of deprivation (solitary confinement; can cause hallucination)
Hue
color; has to due with length of the wave
brightness
intensity (heightened) of light emitted
saturation

vision
idk

intelligence
an inferred characteristic if an individual, usually defined as the ability to profit from the experience, acquire knowledge think abstractly, act purposefully, or adapt to changes in the environment
