#13
In the context of perception, what is the difference between sensation and perception?
Sensation is the interpretation of sensory information, while perception is the direct stimulation of sensory receptors.
Sensation is the awareness of external stimuli, while perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.
Sensation and perception are two terms that are used interchangeably in psychology.
Sensation is the process of selecting and attending to certain stimuli, while perception is the process of transducing sensory information into neural signals.

It is the tendency to perceive patterns and meaningful wholes in incomplete stimuli.
It is the ability to focus on multiple stimuli simultaneously.
It is the process of selectively attending to stimuli based on their intensity.
#15
How does culture influence perception?
It only affects sensory adaptation
It shapes the way individuals perceive and interpret sensory information
It is unrelated to perception
It only impacts auditory perception
