Sense data

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which one sensory experience is perceived in more than one way by the body. There are numerous forms of synesthesia, all of which involve different combinations of sensory experiences. Grapheme-color synesthesia is the most common form, with 60% of synesthetes possessing this type. In grapheme-color synesthesia, symbols are perceived in different colors. For example, the letter “A” is commonly associated with the color red among synesthetes. A pop-out…

detecting differences in odour quality than men. Similarly, when the researchers at Rockefeller University conducted their experiment, it is likely that the women were able to discriminate more mixtures than the men and hence the researchers received a data set that contained a huge range. In addition to that, the study used 17 females but only 9 males and since females are shown to be better at discriminating odors; it is likely that the researchers received majority of their values on the…

muscles and our senses, which then transmitted to the brain. The information is then integrated and the individual has an adaptive response. An individual is composed of eight senses, which are tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual, auditory, vestibular, proprioception and intraception. Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), also known as Sensory Integration Disorder, is a neurological disorder that makes it difficult for an individual to process and organize information received from the senses.…

Keeley Harris Kidd Theory of Knowledge February 16, 2015 “To what extent do our senses give us knowledge of the world as it really is? Sense perception is any capacity of sight, smell, hearing, taste, or touch, through which the body perceives external stimulus. Sense perception in and of itself is very complex due to the subjectivity of its nature. In other words, because no two people will see, taste, feel, smell, or hear the same object in exactly the same way there is an infinite number of…

three parts: sensation; ‘ideas’ gained through our senses, thought, and imagination/memory; imitations of ‘ideas’ collected through either sensation or thought. One could suggest this is a dangerous opening for Berkeley; he is asking his readers to, in the first sentence alone, accept that there can exist nothing except ‘ideas’. Following this categorisation, Berkeley focuses on sensation, providing lucid examples of how each of the five senses gain ‘ideas’, such as through sight, one can obtain…

In the end, children tend to make associations between food and other factors, such as people, memories, and senses. At the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, a qualitative study was conducted by interviewing sixty-three four-year-olds with a detailed laddering technique. Next, in a parallel…

Callahan did a similar research to the one discussed above, but in addition to looking at the relationship between media and perceptions of crime, she looked at how the media affects different races/ ethnicities. Callahan analyzed previous data obtained by the Social and Behavioral Research Institute at California State University-San Marcos for the Robert Presley center for Crime and Justice Studies at the University of California-Riverside. The researchers obtained a total of 4,245 completed…

trauma is so bad that it ends up in death. Tactile perception is a very important part to us humans and animals and without it we wouldn’t be here. Tactile perception is the sense of touch. It also has to do with the brain’s ability to perceive what is being touched. Touch is a complex system called the somatosensory system; the sense that someone receives touching is determined by amount of pressure, vibration, and temperature via receptors of the skin. The brain processes tactile perception…

One of the simplest physiological differences are the senses, and “how each of us sees, hears, tastes, touches, and smells stimuli can affect interpersonal relationships” (Adler et. al, 2015, pg. 115). Another of which being age, which is constantly evolving to shape our views of those around us and of ourselves…
