  1. “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Henry David Thoreau Sensory Perception

  3. Define sensory perception: • the awareness of things through our 5 senses. • The response of our senses to stimuli • Sensation + Interpretation = Perception Parameters

  4. See page 98 of your books: The tree in the forest example… Does “sound” only exist if we are there to hear it? Or does sound exist outside of experience? (see blog!) http://frizzelltok.blogspot.com Connect to language: definition theory

  5. Empiricism: a school of philosophy in which ALL knowledge is based in sensory perception/experience. New blog asks you to think of living for one year without each sense; what would you miss most?

  6. Daniel Tammet: Born on a Blue Day(Author) Daniel Tammet has a rare form of autism which pairs with synesthesia, meaning, he sees numbers in color and texture, thereby allowing him to remember and relate numbers in an extraordinary fashion. Can it be? Oddities of sense perception

  9. Imagine creating this piece of music…if you were deaf! Beethoven: Deaf Composer

  10. What do you think of the statement, “Your perception is your reality”? Can you think of examples where this is true and not true? Are there any areas of knowledge that do not rely in some way on sensory perception? In what ways is perception ambiguous? Some questions

  11. COMMON SENSE REALISM: perception is straight-forward and an accurate reflection of reality. “Our conscious world is a grand illusion!” (this statement based in the fact that our interpretation of sensations is dependent on our brains) see pg. 23 of packet. “The tickle is not in the feather” says Galileo.

  12. Context, figure and ground, visual grouping… Illusions Gestalt theory: we tend to perceive things in meaningful patterns or groups rather than separate parts.

  15. What role does instinct play in what we perceive? To what extent does culture affect the ways in which we see the world? How does your emotional state affect your perception? Some more questions

  16. Where does “confirmation bias” become a problem of knowledge in sensory perception?
