Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perception involves the interpretation and understanding of sensory information. In this scenario, Justine's perception of the mobile as her favorite is what allows her to derive pleasure from seeing it in her crib. Sensation, on the other hand, refers to the initial detection of sensory information without interpretation or understanding. Habituation and classical conditioning both involve learning processes, but they are not applicable in this scenario as there is no indication that Justine is being repeatedly exposed to the mobile to become habituated or that she has developed an association between the mobile and a particular response through classical conditioning.
