sensory cues

Sensory cues are signals or information our senses—such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—detect from our environment. These cues help us interpret and respond to the world around us, guiding behaviors and decisions. For example, the sight of dark clouds may signal an approaching storm, prompting us to seek shelter. Sensory cues can be subtle or obvious, influencing our perception and reactions. They are essential for navigation, safety, and understanding our surroundings, forming a bridge between external stimuli and our mental processing.
