The basic properties of perception

various objects around us and the events taking place around the impact on the human senses and are reflected in his mind.This is the perception of the world, which translated from Latin means the cognitive process.The perception of each person is different, but, despite this, there are common characteristics that are called - the properties of perception.

Activity - perception is always in the action in the search for new information.It can not be stopped.One can only dull, mute, make sure not to pay attention for a while.The process by which, blunted perception of the properties in psychology is called gipostezii.Usually gipostezii associated with mental fatigue.

The basic properties of perception:

  1. Objectivity - a property of perception, connected directly with the subject and the consequent.All this information we refer to a particular subject.The main role here played by the movement and touch.The object is perceived as the body taken separately, is separated from the space and time.If there is no real impact, there is no perception.Rather, there is no normal perception is distorted.When exposed to repetitive objects or repeating patterns of sounds, nonsense words, sensitivity is dulled.
  2. integrity - sensations provide information on specific properties of an object, the perception - a complete image-based generalization.Due to this property, the world is seen in the form of things in the form of events occurring therein.If not for the integrity, the world would be perceived as chaos, as individual sounds and touch.Not going to the recognition of the whole.
  3. structurally (generalized) - is in any case does not mean the sum of sensations.We take a common structure of sensations, the formation of which occurs over time.For example, when listening to music - it is a generalized structure, hear the notes in their order.
  4. Constancy - this constancy.The conditions in which there are properties of perception, are very diverse and variable.But the object is perceived as a constant, regardless of the surrounding conditions.It provides object recognition.For example, "the monkey, she and Africa - a monkey."EXAMPLE course, somewhat exaggerated, but in general it is.
  5. meaningfulness .Despite the fact that the perception occurs when there is some effect on the receptors, the images themselves, have semantic meaning.For instance, animals take everything literally crunching branches of their guards, meaning the approach of danger, put a bowl, then will be fed, etc.But man thinks big, understanding the essence of the subject.Because of the perceived things and events a person is able to do a completely "indirect conclusions."For example, an individual image of a man in a position to come up with and think through the whole picture and, in addition, has to explain it.Man perceives hints, he conjectures, thus he wanted to convey.
  6. Selectivity - people prefer one subjects compared with others.And this is normal.

Properties perception in complex make his perception, in which is formed and perceived adequate image of an object.It is divided into the following types:

- visual;

-sluhovoe;

- tactile;

s other species.

Properties perception can be described, quantified.For example, the threshold of perception - is the level of sensitivity at which the receptor detects that the stimulus is present.This physiological threshold.And the threshold of awareness is the perception of the stimulus.For example, sometimes we feel something, but can not explain what it was.Threshold can be measured by special instruments.Volume is measured by the perception without instruments.
