Every day we are bombarded with different stimuli: faces, news broadcasts, buildings, advertisements, conversations - even taking into account what we hear or see from this very small part.I wonder why this is happening?Answer - because perception.Please be aware that the perception - this is a special process of obtaining all the information coming through the five human senses, awareness and giving it a specific meaning.It is caused by the influence of 3 components:
- physical characteristics of a variety of stimuli;
- ratio of stimuli from their environment;
- special mindset of the individual.
That last component does our perception of the individual.After all, each person considers the available stimuli in its own coordinate system.They often depict things that may be associated with the outside world.But the total number of stimuli that affect us, the more complicated the process of perception.Some of them we can fully absorb the other - only partially, some right and some wrong.In the end, we are neglecting some incentives and choose other, because once all accept incoming information to the brain, we just can not.
All the impressions we select at two levels: internal and external.Internal selection always takes place on the physiological and psychological reasons.Psychological selection that is due to our feelings, experiences or interests, makes us completely distort the specific incentives or do not pay attention to them.
When there is a perception (a prerequisite), take part in it motor components (movement of the eyes and feeling objects; or singing of the corresponding pronunciation of sounds).So the perception is correct to designate as perceptual activity of the subject.
types of perception
The world all people feel differently, but still distinguish 3 main types of perception:
- auditory (perception occurs with the help of sounds);
- visual (through pictures, images);
- kinesthetic (by means of tactile sensations, feelings).
visuals People generally see the world, people audialy hear it, but the kinesthetic - feel.These three types of perception help us make decisions that suggest how to react to certain situations that happen around us.Therefore, they can be called even types of thinking.
Naturally, the system auditory / visual / kinesthetic seems a little simplistic.After all, no one can accept the reality of a one-sided, with only one type.In humans as it is switched from one type to another perception and vice versa (depending on situations occurring around).
Development of perception
During the perception of human life takes a rather complicated way in its development.Particularly intense this development is in the early stages of life, in its early years.
child is born with more or less highly developed analysis system, with a number indicative of unconditioned reactions, is to install devices receptors that ensures optimal perception of the stimuli.From the first day the child feels a significant change in perception.By 6 months of having the search action.Over time, the baby begins to perceive complex stimuli are more complex and may even learn to differentiate them.Then comes the development to the next level - objective perception.This is the period when the child is able to recognize his mother.And so gradually the perception becomes more active, it is associated with children's activity.Then it becomes almost independent meaning and becomes property of higher mental functions (awareness or arbitrary).
