Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perception is the process of interpreting sensory information and giving it meaning based on past experiences and cognitive processes. Adaptation refers to the way the sensory system adjusts to a constant or repetitive stimulus, reducing sensitivity over time. Sensation is the initial process of detecting and encoding sensory information. Habituation is a decrease in response to a repeated stimulus over time, but it specifically refers to a behavioral response rather than the interpretation of sensory input.
