- Referring to the process of interpreting sensory information and making sense of it. - Talking about the mental impression or understanding that arises from sensory input. - Describing a cognitive process that involves organizing and interpreting sensory data.
List of Similarities
- 1Both involve the interpretation of sensory information.
- 2Both are cognitive processes.
- 3Both can be influenced by personal biases and experiences.
- 4Both are important for understanding the world around us.
- 5Both can be improved with practice and training.
What is the difference?
- 1Scope: Sensus refers to the immediate and direct sensory experience, while perception involves the interpretation and understanding of that experience.
- 2Process: Sensus is a physical process, while perception is a cognitive process.
- 3Subjectivity: Sensus is generally considered objective, while perception can be subjective and influenced by personal biases and experiences.
- 4Complexity: Perception is a more complex process than sensus, involving higher-level cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning.
- 5Application: Sensus is more limited in its application, while perception has broader implications for decision-making, problem-solving, and communication.
Remember this!
Sensus and perception both involve the interpretation of sensory information, but they differ in scope, process, subjectivity, complexity, and application. Sensus refers to the immediate and direct sensory experience, while perception involves the interpretation and understanding of that experience. Sensus is a physical process, while perception is a cognitive process that is more complex and can be influenced by personal biases and experiences. While sensus is more limited in its application, perception has broader implications for decision-making, problem-solving, and communication.
