Sensation and Perception Application

Please write only one paragraph for this assignment!

It is the goal of this assignment that you can apply a term from Chapter 5 to an experience in your life. In this assignment, you will choose a key term from either the textbook or PowerPoint lecture to something you or a family member have experienced. Key terms are terms that are defined in the margins of the textbook or ones that I have defined in lecture.

For all applications, you are to:

• Include the clearly identified key term
• Note: the terms you cannot use are Sensation (be more specific) and Perception (be more specific). Also, do not use “Blind spot” and then discuss driving your car. The blind spot here deals with a spot on your retina that has no receptors. Remember you cannot use the experience gained through the class Discussion.
• The definition for that term from lecture or textbook, only. If a direct quote, use quotation marks.
• Immediately after the definition, provide the citation for the source of the definition following APA style. For textbook, (Spielman, et al., 2020) and for lecture (Da Costa, 2026)
• Then provide a short paragraph that clearly shows an experience you have had that fits the term. I expect to see words like I, Me, My. It can be about a family member or something you have read or watched (though no class or textbook experiences count).
