Answer 2

Sensations can be defined as the passive process of bringing information from the outside world into the body and to the brain. The process is passive in the sense that we do not have to be consciously engaging in a "sensing" process. Perception can be defined as the active process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting the information brought to the brain by the senses.

Sensation occurs when the various sense organs of the body received a stimulus which causes a physical or mental response. Such responses which come in through the eyes, nose, ears, sense of taste and the skin will then be fed into the brain. Sensation begins in the sensory receptors of the senses these are specialized cells which receive the stimulus and then have them converted to electrical impulse ready for the brain to use. This is the process called perception. Perception therefore involves the process of the brain communication with the senses. From here we can simply say that perception comes after the process of sensation.

Answer 3

Sensation is the pickup of information by our sensory receptors, for example the eyes, ears, skin, nostrils, and tongue. Perception is the interpretation of what is sensed.
