Definition
In psychology, Sensation and Perception are stages of processing of the senses in human and animal systems, such as vision, auditory, vestibular, and pain senses.

Thresholds
• A minimum amount of stimulation needed to start a neural impulse.
• Divides the line between what energy can be detected or not.
• Absolute Threshold and Difference Threshold

Absolute threshold for our Senses
Senses Absolute Threshold Equivalent
Vision Candle thirty miles away on a clear, dark night
Hearing Tick of a watch twenty feet away in a quiet room
Taste Teaspoons of sugar dissolved in two gallons of water
Smell One drop of perfume in a three-room apartment
Touch A bee’s wing falling on the cheek from a height of one centimeter
Warmth or Cold
A one to two degree celcius change in skin temperature

Signal-Detection Theory
• Signal detection theory (SDT) is used when psychologists want to measure the way we make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, such as how we would perceive distances in foggy conditions.
