Types of Perception.

1. Sound2. Touch3. Taste 4. Other Senses5. Of the Social world

• Speech perception is the process by which the sounds of language are heard, interpreted and understood. 

• The sound of a word can vary widely according to words around it and the tempo of the speech, as well as the physical characteristics, accent and mood of the speaker. 

1.OF SOUND

• People can rapidly and accurately identify three-dimensional objects by touch.

•  This involves exploratory procedures, such as moving the fingers over the outer surface of the object or holding the entire object in the hand.

2.TOUCH

• Taste is the ability to perceive the flavor of substances including, but not limited to, food.

• There are five primary tastes: sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and umami  . Other tastes can be mimicked by combining these basic tastes. 

3.TASTE

• Other senses enable perception of body balance, acceleration, gravity, position of body parts, temperature, pain, time. 

•  perception of internal senses such as suffocation, gag reflex, intestinal distension.

4.OTHER SENSES

• Social perception is the part of perception that allows people to understand the individuals and groups of their social world.

Our perceptual processes are synthetic, assembled by the brain.

Hallucinations in general show the creative nature of perceptual events. A hallucination is a perceptual event that is accepted as real although it does not correspond to reality.
