Distortions of perception
What is color intensity in terms of judgement of flavour.
More intense colors often make food seem more strongly flavored, even when it's not.
It will be the more intensely colored stimulus that will be matched with the more intense taste/flavor.
What is the distinction between perception and sensation?
Sensation is when your sense organs (like eyes, ears, or skin) detect information or receive sensory information. Whereas Perception is when your brain organizes and interprets that information, so you understand what it means. (Like recognizing a face or understanding music.)
What is texture in terms of judgement of flavor?
Texture affects how much food reaches taste receptors and how long it stays in the mouth. Texture influences enjoyment since we often perceive certain foods to feel a particular way.
What is top down and bottom up processing?
Bottom-up: Using sensory info to understand something.
Top-down: Using past knowledge or expectations to interpret it.
What is perceptual set in terms of Perceptual set?
Perceptual set influence how flavor can be distorted or made not accurate by external and internal factors, such as vision or memory.
Perceptual set can help us judge flavors buy may also mislead us into tasting differently.
What is the sequence of sensation process in the correct order?
Reception, transduction, transmission.
What are visual illusions?
visual illusions occur when the brain perceptions something different from reality. Brain interprets visual information, based on context, contrast, perspective or prior knowledge, sometimes incorrectly.
What is Synesthesia?
Synesthesia is when one sense triggers another — for example, when someone can see colors when they hear music or taste words when they read them.
