or equivalent. The psychology of perception is an introduction to the mental processes humans use to sense and gain awareness of the physical, internal, and personal environments. Basic philosophical questions in perception such as the transduction of physical energy to psychology energy are undertaken in the major sensory modalities with emphasis on the experimental and neurological methods of perception. Diverse theoretical approaches incorporating the physiological, psychophysical, ecological, cultural, social, and motivational aspects of perception further frame the discussions.
