Sensory Processes
Sensory processes refer to the ways in which our bodies receive and interpret information from the environment through our senses. The five primary senses are sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Each sense has specialized receptors that detect specific stimuli, such as light for sight or sound waves for hearing, and send signals to the brain for processing.
These processes allow us to experience and interact with the world around us. For example, when we see a colorful flower, photoreceptors in our eyes detect the light reflecting off the flower, sending signals to the brain that help us recognize its color and shape. This integration of sensory information is essential for perception and understanding our surroundings.
