    Sensation involves sensory receptors detecting stimuli, while perception is the organization, interpretation, and conscious experience of sensations. An example of sensory adaptation is the eyes adjusting to changes in light. Playing sports like baseball or basketball would be difficult without depth perception, as you wouldn't be able to judge how close or far objects are. While subliminal messages in advertising should be banned since they can mislead people, extrasensory perception may exist, though more evidence would be needed to believe it.

    UNIT 7 CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

    1. Compare and contrast sensation and perception.

    Sensation occurs when sensory receptors detect sensory stimuli. Perception involves the

    organization, interpretation, and conscious experience of those sensations.

    2. Describe an example of sensory adaptation that you have experienced.

    An example can be: when there is a very strong change in lighting and by reaction you close

    your eyes. but eventually your eyes get used to it

    3. Why would it be difficult to play a sport such as baseball or basketball without the ability to

    perceive depth?

    Because without the ability to perceive depth you wouldn’t notice how close or far the ball is

    or how close a person is to you.

    4. Do you think that subliminal messages should be banned from advertising? Why or why not?

    I think they should be banned because they can give people wrong information or people can

    misunderstand the messages.

    5. What is your opinion about extrasensory perception? Do you think it exists? Explain your

    answer.

    I really don’t know what to say about this topic. I think there is a high chance of telepathy,

    recognition or psychokinesis to exist. My opinion on this topic is that I have to see it to believe

    it. But I feel that everything is possible in this world.
