Module 3 Discussion

DQ1 Sensation and Perception

Our chapter reading tells us that sensation refers to the process of sensing through touch, taste, sound, sight and smell.  The information is sent to our brains where perception comes into play.   Perception is the way we interpret these sensations and therefore, make sense of everything around us.

DQ2 Learning

Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how information is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning. Cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences, as well as prior experience, all play a part in how understanding, or a world view, is acquired or changed and knowledge and skills retained.

Behavioral psychologists have focused on the learning of associations through classical conditioning and operant conditioning.  Cognitive psychologists studying learning are interested in the more complex type of learning involved in human memory.
