Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction refers to the conversion of sensory information (e.g. light waves, sound waves) into neural signals. This is a sensory processing step. Recognition of objects, on the other hand, involves higher-level processing and is a perceptual process. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it captures the difference between sensory and perceptual processing. Choices A, B, and C also describe different aspects of processing, but are not as relevant to the distinction between sensory and perceptual processing.
