Accuracy and Inaccuracy of Sensory Information
Accuracy and Inaccuracy Sensory Information
I believe that we should definitely be able to trust our senses to give us an accurate view of the world. We are taught as we grow up to learn how to crawl, walk, read, write, etc. In order to do these things we have to explore and learn. Learning is the most fundamental part of someone’s development due to it deals with the cognitive development stage of sociology. Cognitive development is the process of acquiring intelligence and increasingly advanced thought and problem-solving ability from infancy to adulthood. (Macionis, pg 9) A person's surroundings such as their family have a lot to do with how we perceive things and how we interpret information through our senses. This is why I believe there are both accuracies and inaccuracies to the way we interpret our surroundings. There are three reasons I believe in the accuracy of sensory information. The first reason is part of our developmental stage is to learn how to perceive all five senses: the sense of touch, smell, sight, taste, and hearing. There are several reasons the five senses help influence the way we perceive information. Such as, for example, the sense of smell will allow you to smell when milk is sour or if you have a baby and the child needs to be changed. The second reason I believe in accuracy of sensory information is by the sense of sight for example. The sense of sight allows us to see when something is wrong such as someone robbing a bank or a house on fire. We can both see and hear someone robbing a bank. We can also see and smell a house on fire. The last reason I believe in the accuracy of sensory information is without the sense of touch we would not be able to feel when we have a fever and we would not know our surroundings at all. We depend on our senses for accuracy in so many different ways but without the sense of touch, most of us would have no idea of what's going on.
There are several ways that most psychologists and even scientists
