Sensation is purely physical, while perception is colored by the individual's mind, predispositions, desires, fears, and emotions. His perception is his reality, just not necessarily anyone else's. Sensation is physical, while perception is mental.
Why study sensation and perception? Without sensations to tell us what is outside our own mental world, we would liveentirely in our own minds, separate from one another and unable to find food or any other basics that sustain life. Sensations are the mindâs window to the world that exists around us. Without perception, we would be unable to understand what all those sensations meanâperception is the process of interpreting the sensations we experience so that we can act upon them.
