hey i was just wondering in the visual percpetion.
and is those little q-cards for psychology very useful for the exam
In the visual percpetion the processes are:
selection,
organisation and
interpertation.
And for the visual sensation the process is
recception,
transduction and
transmission.
Is that true or all of them is in just the visual percpetion.

If I remember correctly, the study design used to make a distinction between them, but now they are all in the category of "visual perception"

YEA!!!!!!!!! because of that study design, I paniced coz i studied it at school all together, n wondering wats that is on about. so wat do i do. do i have to study it together.

The only distinction I was ever really aware of is that 'visual perception' (ie: selection, organisation) are the parts of the process which occur within the brain itself, and are thus subjective and can be influenced by past experiences, while 'visual sensation' occurs within the structures of the eye and should theoretically be considered to be objective. Don't know that its really that important... and all of the these processes fall under the broader category of 'visual perception'. Which is a little confusing.
All in all, don't worry about it. Just study it together and keep in mind that the latter processes occur in the brain while the earlier are in the eye.
