Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attention is necessary for perception to occur because it directs sensory information toward the brain for processing. Without attention, sensory information may still be detected, but it is not processed in a way that leads to perception. Sensory adaptation, habituation, and sensory gating all affect how sensory information is processed, but they do not address the initial stage of attention that is necessary for perception.
