SENSATION
Sensations can be defined as the passive process of bringing information from the outside world into the body and
to the brain. The process is passive in the sense that we do not have to be consciously engaging in a "sensing"
process.

OBJECT PERCEPTION
Viewer- Centered
Individual stores the way the object looks to him or her.
The shape of the object changes, depending on the angle from which ones look at it. A number of views of the
object are stored, and when ones try to recognize an object, ones have to rotate that object in his/her mind until it
fits one of the stored images.
Object- Centered
Individual stores a representation of the object, independent of its appearance to the viewer.
