This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

Your group will be assigned a developmental period – prenatal development, infancy and childhood, adolescences and emerging adulthood, early, middle, and late adulthood. Your group will then create a 10-12-slide, including title and reference slides, PowerPoint presentation.

Your group will research the developmental period including:

1. A description of physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in this period in life.
2. Explain factors that are impactful during the assigned developmental period. For example, Attachment in infancy, Parenting Styles in Childhood, Bullying in Adolescence, View on Marriage in Early Adulthood, Views of the Elderly in Late Adulthood.
3. Describe relevant theories that relate to development and the particular developmental period your group has been assigned.

Use three to five scholarly resources to support your explanations. Apply relevant topics as discussed in the textbook and other resources you have located and read.

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.

Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, including an APA formatted reference slide, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Sensation and Perception

Introduction

Sensation and perception are two words that are often used interchangeably. However, they have distinct meanings and functions in our lives. They’re also related to each other in a way that is not immediately obvious—and that can be confusing for some people! In this article we’ll look at the difference between sensation and perception so you’ll know how to use these terms when talking about yourself or others:

Perception is the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting information.

Perception is the process of selecting, organizing and interpreting information. It can be influenced by expectations and previous knowledge. Perception also depends on context, which means that it’s often subjective.

Perception is a cognitive process that occurs in both animals and humans: a rat will see light differently than we do; but both rats and humans have good vision because they have eyesight!

Sensation is the detection of basic stimuli.

Sensation is the detection of basic stimuli. Sensory receptors are specialized neurons that detect stimuli and convert them into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the brain via nerves. There are several types of sensory receptors:

• Cutaneous (skin) – located on the surface of your skin, these cells respond to mechanical contact with the outside world (e.g., touch).

• Auditory – located in your ear canal, these cells respond to sound waves entering through your ears; they also provide some information about pitch and tone quality from musical tones played through speakers or headphones at varying volumes

• Olfactory – situated behind both nostrils, these cells detect smells from volatile chemicals such as gasoline vapors or ammonia fumes emanating from food preparation areas in kitchens or restaurants

Transduction is the conversion of stimulus energy into neural signals.

The process of transduction is the conversion of stimulus energy into neural signals. It can occur in many different parts of your body, including the eye and ear. For example, when you look at something bright that is reflected off an object and then hit your eye (like an image on a screen), this reflective light gets converted into nerve impulses that travel down to your optic nerve and then onto one of your eyes’ optic nerves (which ends up sending those nerve impulses out through its pupil).

This is an example of how transduction works:

• Light enters our eyes through tiny holes called pupils; these act as barriers keeping out unwanted external particles such as dust or other foreign objects.

Visual sensory receptors are highly specialized neurons called rods and cones that are located in the retina on the inner surface of the back of your eye.

Visual sensory receptors are highly specialized neurons called rods and cones that are located in the retina on the inner surface of the back of your eye. The retina is a sheet of tissue at the back of your eye, which contains millions of light-sensitive nerve cells (called photoreceptors). The cones detect light while rods allow us to see in dim conditions such as dark rooms or snowstorms where there’s no sunlight streaming through our windows.

Rods and cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light—the shorter wavelength ones detect blue colors, whereas longer ones process reds, greens, oranges and yellows.

Sensation and perception might look like simple terms but there’s lot going on beneath them.

Sensation and perception might look like simple terms but there’s lot going on beneath them.

Perception is the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting information. It involves many steps: processing sensory information; identifying objects or events; assigning meaning to an object or event; categorizing these entities (e.g., animals vs plants vs rocks), then deciding which ones are important enough to pay attention to at any given moment.

Sensation is the detection of basic stimuli such as touch and sound; it involves transduction—the conversion of stimulus energy into neural signals—and this signaling process can happen in many parts of your body including your eyes, ears, tongue..etc

Conclusion

So, we’ve covered the basics of sensation and perception. But what does that mean for you? Well, it means that you can now take an active role in helping your body get the best possible health care by understanding what is going on with your senses as well as how to make good food choices. Remember: prevention is always better than cure!
