How do we see and cognize things? Do we income the denotation of things or do we scrutinize and sluice it with perception and emotion before we process its meaning? The way we see things depends upon our area of knowledge and the way we understand things depends upon our ways of knowing. These both later combine to show if the meaning is an emotional concept or just reasoning.
If I were to analyze a particle of iron, in chemistry class, I would find out its physical and chemical properties. In language class, I would find out the connotation and denotation. In arts class, I would use the physical and chemical properties to create a connotation of the particle so I could express the emotion of iron from its own properties. As you can see, in chemistry class I see the iron particle as it is while in English class, I see it as it is and as I am. In Arts class, I modify the way as it is to see it the way as I am.
There are also cases where we see things as they are but with assorted perceptions. The way we see things, even if we are in the same area of knowledge, would fluctuate. If you were in the core level of the subject, you would see them as they are but if you go deeper and deeper into the subject, they could alternate time to time from how we grasp their concept. Lets take the value of pi in math. You can’t see pi as according to your emotion because numbers don’t play role in emotion unless, in cases where you vigor yourself to understand pi as another object or thing to make it absorb into your brain easily. I remember, when I was in grade 7, I was first introduced to pi. For the first few days, I was very bemused because I couldn’t relate pi to anything, as it’s a number. I couldn’t see pi as anything else but just a num...

...other piece of paper 10 times, trail 1 was a disappointment, as the trial increased, the accuracy increased. When I was first writing it, I couldn’t see it as I am but when I was trying it for the 5th time, I was already a bit familiar with the letter even though I couldn’t see it visually. Emotionally, I saw the letter as I am.
The way we see things distinct more rapidly when how we see and fathom the measurement of perception affect the different ways of knowing and areas of knowledge when an emotional state has been played through familiarized and unfamiliarized objectives. The way we see things depends upon the way we perceive emotions. The way we understand things depends upon the way we comprehend the perception of emotions.
The way we see and understand things is a combination of how we perceive emotion and how we perceive the perception of emotion itself.
... same time, each representing a specific emotion. But it is much harder to imagine that the mind could transform a person's perception of an object in conflicting ways at the same time.
For example, sense perception for the processes of Aristotle’s term “abstraction” plays an important role. This was the argument against Plato’s theory of “recollection” from the book “Aristotle Introductory Reading” by Terence Irwin (see Book 2). Aristotle argued that what we perceive in our senses and collect into what we learn and understand is abstraction. The knowledge of everything we know does not come from the soul, which contains unlimited amount of information as Plato’s theory of recollection suggests, but its actually a process called abstraction. The process of collection and storing information through our senses. But the problem can be that people misunderstand or misuse what their senses perceive and draw a wrong understanding from the information they 've gathered, which leads to an illusion rather than understanding. For example, we grow prejudice towards certain things and likes towards others by simple view of it. If we dislike a color, or a shape we may not further investigate it, or even ignore it, gathering the information and understanding it wrongfully just because of how we felt about it. Same can be said about liking something that we may sometimes over exaggerate and overprice, just because we like it that much even though it does not possess that much of what we would want it to.
The first, which he refers to as the “weak view” (5), is that we simply perceive with different sense modalities (e.g. touch, taste, vision, etc.). But, this view appears inadequate in the face of physiological and experiential evidence. O’Callaghan points out that neurological pathways activate in unison, and that our perception appears to us as one continuous experience, rather than subdivided into individual experiences of each different sense. (6) O’Callaghan admits that the senses often outwardly appear to be unimodal, experience does not seem broken up into different senses but appears continuous. He then goes on to support this claim with evidence from psychological
One wonders what takes place in the brain to cause such phenomenal differences in perception. The cause is unknown for certain, like many things in the realm of science it has not been researched nearly enough, but there are some indications.
Our five senses –sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch help the ways in which we perceive the world around us. And while they seem to work independently at time they can effect each other and the way we comprehend something. Seeing something pretty, touching something soft, eating something cold and smelling something rotten are the sense we use to connect with the world around us and will all effect how we move forward in that situation. When you look at the top picture say the color of the word not the word itself. It is harder than it seems and takes a little practice to do it efficiently. It is because we see the spelling we were taught not the color it was written in. It is hard to process it the other way, but not impossible. Take the bottom picture for another example is this a
In “The Anatomy of Judgmen”t, M. L. J. Abercrombie discusses how information is gained through our perception. Abercrombie claims that interpretation is a very complicated task that people have been learning to exercise since birth. Each person has a different way of interpreting the objects or situations they see, because people often relate their own past experiences. She also explains two important concepts: schemata and context. She defines schemata as a way our mind functions by understanding new things perceived through sight, by relating it to an individual’s past experiences. Past experiences help interpret what is seen further, if the object fits one’s expectation or their schemata, and not something different from their past experiences. Her fundamental insight is that seeing is more complex than just passively registering what is seen, and consists of a form judgment for...
Cultural based explanations posit that emotions are acquired via socialisation and recognise that cultural beliefs play an important role since research has indicated cultural variations amongst individualistic (USA) and collectivists (Japan) cultures. Studies have also focused on recognition rates of emotions and in relation to age.
In the Pure Concepts of Understanding, Kant claims that our intuitions are dependent on sensibility; everything we sense accumulates into our brain and our understanding of the information we sensed relies on organizing that data so that we can recognize the object. Thus, he asserts that understanding is not a faculty of intuition but sensibility. Furthermore, the act of organizing the data into one representation is defined as function and these functions serve as a bridge between the object and its concepts because concepts are not directly related to an object but just some representations of it. This, when function and concepts are put together, Kant concludes is defined as judgment, knowledge of the fact that there is an object, as he uses the term “representation of a representation of it” (42).... ...
“Some emotional experience is an interpretation and not merely given by our physiological state” (Hutchison, 2015, p.127). Dan shows that his personality is biased against sadness, which could be caused by something that has happened in his earlier years. Hutchison (2015) states, “Dan interprets sadness as a way to regain energy and to reevaluate his needs, which also signals other to provide Dan with support” (p.129). However, with the cultural difference many did not know what Dan’s interpretation of sadness was because his fellow classmates have a different meaning of sadness. So, physiological theory shows within different cultures, each emotion are organized around many different affective

Perceiving Emotions- the first step in understanding emotions is to accurately perceive them. This involves understanding nonverbal signals such as body language and facial expression.
There are many different Visual Perception principles in perception. The main principles are Gestalt. Gestalt is a German word meaning 'form' or 'shape'. Gestalt psychologists formulated a series of principles that describe how t...
Emotion is the “feeling” aspect of consciousness that includes physical, behavioral, and subjective (cognitive) elements. Emotion also contains three elements which are physical arousal, a certain behavior that can reveal outer feelings and inner feelings. One key part in the brain, the amygdala which is located within the limbic system on each side of the brain, plays a key role in emotional processing which causes emotions such as fear and pleasure to be involved with the human facial expressions.The common-sense theory of emotion states that an emotion is experienced first, leading to a physical reaction and then to a behavioral reaction.The James-Lange theory states that a stimulus creates a physiological response that then leads to the labeling of the emotion. The Cannon-Bard theory states that the physiological reaction and the emotion both use the thalamus to send sensory information to both the cortex of the brain and the organs of the sympathetic nervous system. The facial feedback hypothesis states that facial expressions provide feedback to the brain about the emotion being expressed on the face, increasing all the emotions. In Schachter and Singer’s cognitive arousal theory, also known as the two-factor theory, states both the physiological arousal and the actual arousal must occur before the emotion itself is experienced, based on cues from the environment. Lastly, in the cognitive-mediational theory
Perception is defined as the awareness of the world through the use of the five senses, but the concept of perception is often used to isolate one person’s point of view, so how reliable can perception be if no one person’s is exactly the same? The word perception itself is riddled with different, well, perceptions of its meaning. When some hear the word, they might automatically think of it as something innately flawed, that can easily be fooled by illusions, while others may think of its usefulness when avoiding scalding a hand on a hot stove. I am here to agree with both and to argue that perception is something necessary and helpful, and something that should be scrutinized for its flaws. By looking at perception as a way of knowing in the context of memory and human sciences, it can be concluded that perception can contribute to the acquisition of knowledge by constructing a foundation on which incoming stimuli from the environment are able to be quickly interpreted and acted upon, but perception can also hinder the acquisition of knowledge by wrongly interpreting those stimuli, causing inappropriate reactions.
One scientist, Damasio, provided an explanation how emotions can be felt in humans biologically. Damasio suggested, “Various brain structures map both the organism and external objects to create what he calls a second order representation. This mapping of the organism and the object most likely occurs in the thalamus and cingulate cortices. A sense of self in the act of knowing is created, and the individual knows “to whom this is happening.” The “seer” and the “seen,” the “thought” and the “thinker” are one in the same.” By mapping the brain scientists can have a better understandi...
