Introduction

Perception happens when situations make a pattern to which we respond, we say that we perceive. Thus certain light waves which stimulate our eyes may be perceived as an object we called a book. Certain sound waves which stimulate our eardrum are perceived as melody. From a great complexity of situations, we may perceive that a friend is hurt by something we have said.

Our sensations may differ from those of another person because, to mention only three, our seeing apparatus or hearing apparatus or smelling apparatus is more acute or less acute than his. More pronounced is the difference in our perceptions from those of a friend; for our individual experiences may influence our perceptions very much. Thus one person might perceive the same situation to be rather favourable. Yet the actual facts might be that the situation would have little effect on either of them.

    Understanding this factor is crucial to improve one’s comprehension of how perception operates when viewing an assortment of stimuli. Nonetheless, Clarks article opens the reader’s mind to ideas about reality by giving examples of viewing life from different viewpoints. As Clark writes, “Depending on how adept you are at focusing your concentration, you may notice a slight shift in your perception – a weird jump in realty, where you are suddenly viewing the world from a different perspective” (Clark par. 1). By allowing individuals to think from a different perspective, they can shift their perception into grander…

    Furthermore they also mentioned that experience, or percept, is the joint product of the stimulation and of the process itself. Relations found between various types of stimulation (e.g., light waves and sound waves) and their associated percepts suggest inferences that can be made about the properties of the perceptual process; theories of perceiving then can be developed on the basis of these inferences. Because the perceptual process is not itself public or directly observable (except to the perceiver himself, whose percepts are given directly in experience), the validity of perceptual theories can be checked only indirectly.…

    Extrasensory perception (ESP) is commonly referred in layman‘s terms as the ‘sixth sense’ because it occurs independently of the five subtle senses we have (sight, smell, hearing, etc). Basically, ESP involves reception of information not gained through our physical senses but rather through the mind. This ability of the mind involves mental telepathy, clairaudience and clairvoyance, which is seeing and hearing things outside the range of normal perception.…
