After completing their study of this module, students should be able to:
1. Contrast sensation and perception, and explain the difference between bottom-up and top-down processing.
2. Distinguish between absolute and difference thresholds, and discuss
whether we can sense stimuli below our
absolute threshold and be influenced by them.
3. Describe sensory adaptation, and explain how we benefit from being unaware of unchanging stimuli.
4. Describe the interplay between attention and perception.
