PSY 342 - Sensation and Perception

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

The study of Sensation and Perception revolves around three main themes: 1) The nature of the physical stimulation, 2) The anatomy of the organs which register and react to this external energy, and 3) The interpretation of the neural coding which arises from these stimulations. Each of the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) will be considered in terms of these three themes. Current theories and philosophical views of sensation and perception will be considered in regard to their explanatory power in accounting for the empirical and phenomenological data. Special emphasis will be placed on the demonstration of and interaction with phenomena covered in this course. This course is offered in rotation with PSY 312 and PSY 322.
