Perception

Perception is the cognitive process through which individuals interpret and make sense of sensory information received from the environment. It involves the recognition, organization, and interpretation of stimuli, allowing people to form an understanding of their surroundings. Perception is influenced by various factors, including past experiences, cultural background, expectations, and attention. The process entails several stages: sensation, in which sensory organs detect stimuli; and interpretation, where the brain processes and assigns meaning to those stimuli. As a complex interplay between physiological and psychological components, perception plays a crucial role in how individuals experience reality, make decisions, and interact with others.
