Detailed explanation-1: -Article Summary. Sense perception is the use of our senses to acquire information about the world around us and to become acquainted with objects, events, and their features. Traditionally, there are taken to be five senses: sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste.

Detailed explanation-2: -Perception is a process where people take in sensory information from the environment and make sense of the surrounding with the information in order to give an appropriate response. Perception allows people to take the sensory information and make it into something meaningful.

Detailed explanation-3: -The question for cognitive psychologists is how we manage to accomplish these feats so rapidly and (usually) without error. The vast topic of perception can be subdivided into visual perception, auditory perception, olfactory perception, haptic (touch) perception, and gustatory (taste) percep-tion.

Detailed explanation-4: -As soon as something is sensed and perceived, the brain’s Executive Functions ‘tell’ (or direct) the senses to pay attention to particular things. By looking at or listening out for the ‘right’ things we get a more complete picture of the situation: we can perceive the situation as a whole to understand it better.
