Five senses

There could be more than one definition of a beautiful place; they all differ from each other. For example, the sight and sound of ocean waves colliding with each other as they ooze onto the shore of the beach could be a definition of a beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia…

Pictures Imagery gives you so much more insight to what the author is trying to say. Without imagery stories would be so much harder to understand. In the poem, “The Boy at the Window,” by, Richard Wilbur, we see many lines of imagery. Wilbur uses imagery to develop his poem by telling us of many different things that we can picture in our minds. In the beginning of the poem the author says, “The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare a night of gnashing’s and enormous moan.” (L3, L4) The…

Goldstein (2015) states that “perception can involve a process similar to reasoning or problem solving” (p. 52). For example, I have woken up in the middle of the night and as my eyes were adjusting to being open I have thought a person was standing in my room. As I focused on what I thought was the person I started to realize that the shape I perceived as the person was in fact just my dresser across the room. The blob started to take the shape of a rectangle and my brain started to…

Removing the sense of sight altered the ability to identify taste among the flavors of jelly beans being sampled by the test subjects. The control group was able to easily recognize the lime, cherry, orange and banana flavors. Test subjects 1 and 2 were given the citrus flavors lime and orange consecutively so perhaps the sour taste influenced their taste perception. Pear was the least distinguishable and was associated with a different type of fruit. Experimental group 1 had a significant…

sensory processing disorder. All senses are potentially affected and some children may have a more severe case than others. The book defines SPD as “difficulty in the way the brain takes in, organizes and uses sensory information, causing a person to have problems interacting effectively in the everyday environment.” The senses that may be affected by SPD are the tactile sense, the vestibular sense, the proprioceptive sense, the visual sense, and the auditory sense. The book gives many examples…

Perception Perception is “the process by which individuals organize and interpret their impressions to give meaning to their environment.”, it is not necessarily a reflection of the objective reality of the situation (Langton, Robbins, & Judge, 2016, p. 38). There are three factors that contribute to perception, the individual or perceiver, the target or what they are perceiving and the attributes that are associated with the target, and the context or situation that the event occurs in…

David Dzumba djd0166 Critique of “The self-reported importance of olfaction during human mate choice” Authors Sergeant, Davies, Dickins and Griffiths in their abstract say that “Olfactory characteristics were declared to be extremely important during mate selection, more so than almost all other characteristics.” Yet in the introduction they talk about visual appearance being most important, and then go on to talk about the differences between men and women and the importance of olfaction in…

Visual perception is a function of the eyes and brain. Humans see images as a whole rather than in parts. However, images can be broken into different visual elements: line, shape, texture, and color. Like the significance of grammar in languages, these elements are just as important in art. Together, they allow the eyes to form a complete image in the brain. Art is not only limited to paintings on canvas, they can also be three dimensional. While Jean Marende’s carving- “Initial F”- and Paul…
