ABSTRACT
When we compare our experience of the world (in which objects remain stable and constant) with what our sense organs receive in the form of physical stimulation (a state of near-continuous flux), it is almost as if there are two entirely different ‘worlds’. Psychologists call these ‘worlds’ sensation and perception, respectively. Sensations are the experiences that physical stimuli elicit in the sense organs. Perception is the organization and interpretation of incoming sensory information to form inner representations of the external world.
