Cognitive Processes: The Core Components
What are the three highly interrelated cognitive processes that form the basis of our knowledge of the world?
What are the three highly interrelated cognitive processes that form the basis of our knowledge of the world?
FACT
- Sensation: The initial detection of physical stimuli by sense organs.
- Attention: The process of selecting specific stimuli to focus on from a multitude of inputs.
- Perception: The higher-order process of interpreting and giving meaning to the registered sensory information.
Prism Memory Hook
SAP: Sensation, Attention, Perception.
Information Gathering Systems: The Seven Senses
What are the seven primary sense organs (information gathering systems) possessed by human beings?
What are the seven primary sense organs (information gathering systems) possessed by human beings?
CONCEPT
- External Senses: The five traditional exteroceptors include the eyes (vision), ears (hearing), nose (smell), tongue (taste), and skin (touch, warmth, cold, pain).
- Deep Senses: The two interoceptors are the kinesthetic and vestibular systems, which provide internal neurological information regarding body position, movement, and balance.

Kinesthetic vs. Vestibular Systems
What is the specific functional distinction between the kinesthetic and vestibular deep sensory systems?
What is the specific functional distinction between the kinesthetic and vestibular deep sensory systems?
DISTINCTION
- Kinesthetic System: Provides the brain with deep internal sensory information strictly about the physical movement and relative position of body parts (muscle and joint tension).
- Vestibular System: Provides internal sensory information regarding overall body posture, spatial orientation, and physical balance, primarily regulated by fluid in the inner ear.

Kinesthetic = Kinetics/Movement; Vestibular = Vest/Body Posture.
