 -
Sensation
It refers to our awareness about various
stimuli which we encounter in different
modalities such as vision, hearing, touch,
smell and taste.

Various physical energies in the

-
environment act on the sense organs.
Attention
Many competing stimuli, but only limited
capacity. Therefore, need to focus, and
select.

Perception
In the case of perception we process
information and make out the meaning
of the stimuli available to us.

What one perceives depends on

selection, organization and

Learning
It helps us acquire new knowledge and
skills through experience and practice.

-
 -
Memory
The information we process and learn is
registered and stored in the memory
system. Memory also helps us to easily
retrieve the stored information when it is
required for use.

-
 Three Components of Memory
Sensory memory After information reaches the senses it
is briefly registered in the sensory store.

Short-term memory It holds information longer than sensory

memory and has limited capacity.

Long-term memory It has been suggested, has virtually

unlimited capacity.
 -
Thinking
In the case of thinking we use our
stored knowledge to solve various tasks.

-
 -
Decision-making
The thought process of selecting a
logical choice from the available options.
When trying to make a good decision, a
person must weigh the positives and
negatives of each option, and consider
all the alternatives.

-
 -
Problem-solving
Is a mental process that involves
discovering, analyzing and solving
problems. The ultimate goal of
problem-solving is to overcome
obstacles and find a solution that best
resolves the issue.
