Sensation occurs when information interacts with sensory receptors—the eyes, ears, tongue, nostrils, and
skin. The sensation of hearing occurs when waves of pulsating air are collected by the outer ear and
transmitted through the bones of the inner ear to the auditory nerve. The sensation of vision occurs as
rays of light contact the eyes, become focused on the retina, and are transmitted by the optic nerve to the
visual centers of the brain.
Perception is the interpretation of what is sensed. The air waves that contact the ears might be interpreted
as noise or as musical sounds, for example. The physical energy transmitted to the retina of the eye might
be interpreted as a particular color, pattern, or shape, depending on how it is perceived.
Free-Will vs Determinism Debate

outside of our control?
Nature vs. Nurture
Heredity vs. Environment
selective attention
Psychology
the scientific study of behavior and mental processes
psychiatry

example, drug) treatments
free will
The idea that human beings are free to make their own choices
Determinism
the philosophy that holds that every event, action, and decision results from something independent of the
human will
Nature
the influence of our inherited characteristics on our personality, physical growth, intellectual growth, and
social interactions
nurture
the influence of our environment
CNS (central nervous system)
includes the brain and spinal cord
