AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Vestibular Sense Humans sense position and motion in three-dimensional space through the interaction of a variety of body proprioceptors, including muscles, tendons, joints, vision, touch, pressure, hearing, and the vestibular system. Feedback from these systems is interpreted by the brain as position and motion data.

Detailed explanation-2: -In psychology, sensation is defined as the process of the sensory organs transforming physical energy into neurological impulses the brain interprets as the five senses of vision, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. This process is known as transduction, or the conversion of one form of energy into another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sense of touch is a mix of four distinct skin senses-pressure, warmth, cold, and pain. Only pressure has identifiable receptors. All other skin sensations are variations of pressure, warmth, cold and pain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Perceptual Set. A perceptual set is a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another (top-down processing). Through experience we form concepts, or schemas, that organize and interpret unfamiliar information.
