Sense

Comment on the strengths and weaknesses of Sense of Perception as a Way of Knowing As per the Lagemaat book, Sense Perception can be defined as the awareness of things through our main 5 senses: Visual, Auditory, Olfactory, Gustatory and Cutaneous. These 5 senses allow our brain to take in information, but whenever they are in use, they all work individually, blocking all the other senses which aren’t in use at that particular moment. An example of this is our inability of multi-tasking. When…

I participated in the senses challenge supplied by the British Broadcasting Company to test my abilities and regards to my main sensory modalities. I achieved 100%, my first try, on the test. I was not surprised by the fact of my grade as the test was easy for me. The easiness isn 't due to the inability to accurately conduct the senses challenge online or the gullibility of the test taker but due to the fact I was raised in a sensory enhancing environment. The North Dakota environment…

To accurately process information about one 's surroundings, humans use five senses to interpret them. In 2011, Gehl wrote about how the five senses work in both physical and social situations. He mostly described the perception and optimal distances for each sense. But how does this relate to parks? Every park has a designer or many. These designers had to plan out every element from obvious aspects like bridges and playgrounds to seemingly arbitrary details like how tall a ledge should be or…

The way we understand and perceive the world around us as humans are known as senses. There are five senses in human taste, touch, smell, hearing, sight and touch (Bailey, 2013). Human body perceives information through using five senses of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. Each sense of body uses a specific part of the body to respond to stimuli in the environment. 1.2 Types of senses There are five senses in the human beings. i. Taste: Taste, also known as gustation, is the ability to…

The five distinct senses act independently; However, they also team up to empower the mind to have a more useful understanding of its surroundings. What would the world be like if we couldn’t taste, smell, listen, feel or had no vision? Have you ever seen something that reminded you of a loved one? Smelt a scent and it brought back a certain place or memory? Every moment of the day at least one of our senses is working hard; replenishing the Brain with new information on how to be safe, how to…

When describing an object there are always many things overlooked. To properly observe something you must use all the senses available. The senses of touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound are useful in describing something that is completely foreign. When touching a football glove the many different textures can be overwhelming. The palms have a smooth texture but they also feel tacky, to help them catch a ball. The back of the hand has a soft fabric that is padded to help protect from an…

To experience the surrounding world, the human body uses biological systems, senses, to interpret external stimuli and form a coherent, tangible view. The senses consist of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting, where seeing and hearing are the most crucial. The perception of the world is the brain’s ability to analyze the incoming sensation messages and relay them back; sensation is both the initial messages sent by the nerves and the complete resulting picture created by the brain.…

The five senses of sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch are faculties that allow us to perceive the outside world. While everyone is not gifted with all five senses, they do grant us the ability to interaction with our surroundings when they are stimulated. In the Meditations, Descartes examine sensory perception and the role in plays in our lives. He questions how powerful but at the same time insufficient sensory perception is to the overall aspect of the mind. Descartes wants to examine…

The special senses are hearing, equilibrium, vision, taste, and smell. Hearing is associated with the ear and how the sound waves travel through from external to internal ear. The external layer of the ear consists of the auricle, external acoustic meatus, and the tympanic membrane. Sound enters through the auricle, which carries the sound waves to the external acoustic meatus (i.e. ear canal). The external acoustic meatus in turn carries the sound waves to the tympanic membrane (i.e. eardrum).…

learning may happen differently from student to student, there is something that all students share; the five senses. Dr. A. Jean Ayres, who is known for her work on sensory integration, “maintained that the basic operating premise of the theory of sensory integration is that effective learning occurs when the senses are stimulated with incoming information” (Ragonese 3). The five senses have organs which are made up of cells that are connected to the nervous system. When there is an…
