perceptual processes

Perceptual processes refer to how we interpret and make sense of the information our senses receive from the environment. This includes seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. When we perceive something, our brain organizes and connects sensory information based on our experiences and knowledge. For example, when we see a tree, our brain not only recognizes its shape and color but also associates it with past experiences, such as feeling its rough bark or seeing it change with the seasons. These processes help us navigate and understand the world around us.
