Sensation, perception, neuropsychologyAbstract
The article analyzes traditional and contemporary views on sensation and perception, emphasizing their neuropsychological foundations and functional interrelation in human cognition. It explores how sensory information is transformed into meaningful perceptual experiences through complex neural processes involving the thalamus, sensory cortices, and associative brain regions. Classical theories of sensation and perception–developed by Wundt, Helmholtz, and Gestalt psychologists–are compared with modern neuropsychological approaches that highlight the role of attention, memory, and emotional modulation in perceptual integration. The study underscores that perception is not a passive reflection of reality but an active interpretive process shaped by the individual’s prior experience and cognitive schema. Neuropsychological evidence from lesion studies and functional neuroimaging confirms that disturbances in sensory processing can lead to perceptual distortions and cognitive disorganization. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of human consciousness and the clinical relevance of sensory-perceptual analysis in diagnostics and rehabilitation.
