Perception

1. Perception (in humans) is the process whereby sensory stimulation is translated into organized experience. That experience, or percept, is the joint product of the stimulation and of the process itself. Relations found between various types of stimulation (for example, light waves and sound waves) and their associated percepts suggest inferences that can be made about the properties of the perceptual process; theories of perceiving then can be developed on the basis of these inferences. Because the perceptual process is not itself public or directly observable, the validity of perceptual theories can be checked only indirectly. That is, predictions derived from theory are compared with appropriate empirical data, quite often through experimental research.

2. Historically, systematic thought about perceiving was the province of philosophy. Indeed, perceiving remains of interest to philosophers, and many issues about the process that were originally raised by philosophers, however, the investigation of perception has especially developed as part of the larger discipline of psychology.

3. Philosophical interest in perception stems largely from questions about the sources and validity of what is called human knowledge. Epistemologists ask whether a real, physical world exists independently of human experience and, if so, how its properties can be learned and how the truth or accuracy of that experience can be determined. They also ask whether there are innate ideas or whether all experience originates through contact with the physical world, mediated by the sense organs.

4. For the most part, psychology by passes such questions in favour of problems that can be handled by its special methods. The remnants of such philosophical question, however, do remain; researches are still concerned, for example, with the relative contributions of innate and learned factors to the perceptual process.
