AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Transduction: Conversion of one form of energy into another… So in Sensation it’s the transforming of stimulus energies such as sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brain can interpret.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transduction: the conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, this is the transformation of sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brain can interpret.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transduction is the process of converting energy of a stimulus into neural activity. The stimulus is recoded as a neural pattern. 2. Transduction can be affected by our experiences, such as through adaptation; a constant level of stimulus results in a decreased response over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensation = the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment. Perception = the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.

Detailed explanation-5: -Although the sensory systems associated with these senses are very different, all share a common function: to convert a stimulus (such as light, or sound, or the position of the body) into an electrical signal in the nervous system. This process is called sensory transduction.
