Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perception is the cognitive process that involves selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information into meaningful patterns. Sensation refers to the simple, basic experiences that arise from sensory stimulation, whereas perception involves the complex process of making sense of these sensations. Free response and stream of consciousness are not directly related to this process of interpreting stimuli.
