Discussion: Sensation and Perception

STEP 1: For this discussion, think about a time when you failed to notice something around you because your attention was focused elsewhere. If someone pointed it out, were you surprised that you hadn’t noticed it right away? Based on what you read in the chapter, what are some of the factors, other than attention, that can affect whether or not we notice a stimulus? 

Your response should be at least one full paragraph in length (5-6 sentences) and should contain proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. The response is worth 4 points.

STEP 2: Respond to at least one other person's post. This is worth 1 point. *Please be respectful of other people's thoughts and opinions when making comments.
