 COGNITIVE PROCESSESS IN LEARNING 

SENSATION 

Sensations can be defined as the passive process of bringing information from the outside world into the  body and to the brain 

PERCEPTION 

Perception is the process by which we become aware of changes (objects, qualities or relations) by sense  organs. Mere sensation does not give us knowledge. They should be interpreted and defined. When a  sensation gets meaning it is called perception. Therefore, 

 Perception = Sensation + Meaning 

 Though perception depends on sensation, the accuracy of perception depends more on experience,  the memories and ideas we get from the past experiences. Perception is the way we perceive and  understand things, objects, persons and events. The behaviour of a person depends upon his perception.  For example, if a student perceives that he is studying well in his school days, it will give him a hope for  better future and he will involve himself completely in his / her school studies. 

Definition 

According to S.S. Sargent, “in a psychological sense the word ‘Perception’ means both the physical act of  receiving sense impressions (seeing, hearing, smelling etc.) and interpreting these impressions. 

According to R.S. Woodworth and D.G. Marquis, Perception is the process of getting to know objects and  objective facts by the use of the senses”.

A key thing to know about computer viruses is that they are designed to spread across programs and systems.
