Highlight and describe the role of SUBJECTIVE and OBJECTIVE factors in the perception of objects in space. (2006)

r they the same as depth/distance factors cuz in sheherbanoz book it is placed as depth/distance/space factors of perception plus wat is perception of colour plz guide frm whr can i get this frm...

another question plz

Explain “what takes place in the perceptual process once the information from the situation is received by the individual.” (2001)

and the last one

Discuss the major determinants of sensations. (2000)

am waiting like anything fr these questions plzzz help me out
regards,
saman

Subjective factors are the characteristics of the perceiver which would ultimately affect the perception.For instance, needs, interests, values,age, experiences, other influences etc

Objective factors are the characteristics of stimuli that influence the perception like size, duration, movement, strength etc

To answer this question, you need to explain perception/ perceptual process in detail.But one has to link both sensation and perception at every step.Perceptual process is composed of sub processes, which are receiving, selecting, organizing, interpreting, checking, and reacting to stimuli.

the major determinants are the subjective and objective factors mentioned above.

As given in syllabus

Determinations of perception (Needs, attitudes, sets, values, personality traits, emotional states, suggestion etc.)

thank u sooooo much silent volcano
i m obliged
had been banging my head for so long fr these questions

thanks once again..stay blessed

one thing i want to clear by asking u is
Are the determinants of perception and sensation same?
in syllabus determinants of perception are mentioned but not those of sensation but in 2000 paper they asked fr determinants of sensation..so r we going to write the same onez as those of perception?


Q2) Is FREUD'S theory of motivation same as that of personality?
cuz wen evr i search fr freudz theory of motivation i end up getting theory of personality the one tht contains ego,superego id etc?


plzzzz clear my mind on these things too...waitingggg

I don't think so these are same.Though Sensation and perception are inter-linked ,yet entirely different processes.According to my knowledge, the conditions that influence the input from the sense organs are the physical conditions(defects) of the sense organs like deafness at any level affects what we hear(differences in hearing), Some people have strong sense of smell (Why?), same is the case with sense of sight etc this is what i interpreted (I might be wrong in my approach).I have searched for the material in this regard but have not found anything useful.

One can colligate these determinants with the subjective factors of perception(When you have no other choice) but emphasis must be on sense organs and sensory inputs .Otherwise,it is better not to attempt confusing questions.

This theory of Freud constitutes the concepts of EROS and THANATOS.
(Search for the psychoanalytic theory of motivation)

thanks again fr clearing up my mind on this one too

em sorry m bothering u again i m doing type and trait theories of personality and there is one theorist Eysenck who has been classified as a trait theorist in Feildman's book and as type theorist in Morgan's ...now i m a bit confused in this one cuz on net type and trait theories are so much mixed..if only u cud guide me on who r the type theorists nd who r the trait theorists just their names so i can elaborate accordingly..

thanks nd waiting fr ur help n guidance

Prepare trait theories of Allport and Cattel only.

As far as i know, Eysenck is not included in syllabus.And just follow the contents of book.

Following theorists are part of syllabus:

Freudain, Neo Freudain, Murry, Allport, Cattel

Sensation is the activation of a sense organ by a source of physical energy.
Specialized organs called Sense organs receive stimulus energy from the environment in the form of physical energy. Specialized cells embedded within the sense organs- called receptors- convert this physical energy into slow changing electric voltages called Receptor potentials and Generator potentials.These in turn act on the nerve cells (neurons) to produce neural impulses. These neural impulses travel along nerve fibres to brain . As thousands of neural impulses travel along many different nerve fibres at slight different times , they provide the input pattern which are translated by brain into sensory experience.
For perception to occur, sensation is a must, and for sensation to occur stimuli must activate receptor cells to generate neural impulses. Thus, the physical energy of the stimulus or the intensity of the stimulus must be higher that Absolute Threshold.
For example, ticking of a watch can be heard at a distance of 20 feet (0.0002 dynes/sq.cm) under calm conditions OR flame of candle can be seen at a distance of 30 miles in a dark and clear night or sweetness can be sensed if one teaspoon of sugar is added to 2 gallons of water Or a wing of a bee can be sensed on one's skin if fallen from a height of 1cm.
