Answer:
i hope this helps i was a bit confused so srry if it doesn't
Explanation:
Perception is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information or environment.
All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sensory system. For example, vision involves light striking the retina of the eye; smell is mediated by odor molecules; and hearing involves pressure waves.
Perception is not only the passive receipt of these signals, but it's also shaped by the recipient's learning, memory, expectation, and attention. Sensory input is a process that transforms this low-level information to higher-level information . Sensory neuroscience studies the neural mechanisms underlying perception. Perceptual systems can also be studied computationally, in terms of the information they process. Perceptual issues in philosophy include the extent to which sensory qualities such as sound, smell or color exist in objective reality rather than in the mind of the perceiver.
"Percept" is also a term used by Deleuze and Guattari to define perception independent from perceivers.
Process and terminology
The process of perception begins with an object in the real world, known as the distal stimulus or distal object. By means of light, sound, or another physical process, the object stimulates the body's sensory organs. These sensory organs transform the input energy into neural activity—a process called transduction. This raw pattern of neural activity is called the proximal stimulus. The image of the shoe reconstructed by the brain of the person is the percept. Another example could be a ringing telephone. The ringing of the phone is the distal stimulus. The sound stimulating a person's auditory receptors is the proximal stimulus. The brain's interpretation of this as the "ringing of a telephone" is the percept.
The different kinds of sensation are called sensory modalities or stimulus modalities.
Bruner's model of the perceptual process
Psychologist Jerome Bruner developed a model of perception, in which people put "together the information contained in" a target and a situation to form "perceptions of ourselves and others based on social categories." This model is composed of three states:
# When we encounter an unfamiliar target, we are very open to the informational cues contained in the target and the situation surrounding it.
# The first stage doesn't give us enough information on which to base perceptions of the target, so we will actively seek out cues to resolve this ambiguity. Gradually, we collect some familiar cues that enable us to make a rough categorization of the target.
# The cues become less open and selective. We try to search for more cues that confirm the categorization of the target. We also actively ignore and even distort cues that violate our initial perceptions. Our perception becomes more selective and we finally paint a consistent picture of the target.
Saks and John's three components to perception
According to Alan Saks and Gary Johns, there are three components to perception:
#The Perceiver: a person whose awareness is focused on the stimulus, and thus begins to perceive it. There are many factors that may influence the perceptions of the perceiver, while the three major ones include motivational state, emotional state, and experience. All of these factors, especially the first two, greatly contribute to how the person perceives a situation.

Read the excerpt from Frida Kahlo by Hedda Garza.
Because of Rivera’s international reputation, most visitors approached him with deference. Kahlo threw caution to the winds, shouting out, "Diego, come down!”
Curious to know more about the daring young girl below, the bulky Rivera made the slow descent to the ground floor. Kahlo wasted no time in preliminaries. . . . "I have come to show you my paintings,” she told him audaciously. She told him her name and Rivera remembered that just a few years earlier, the director of the National Preparatory had told him that the girl who had caused him so much trouble was the same Frida Kahlo. Instead of becoming angry at Kahlo’s audacity, the unconventional artist was delighted to meet his former tormentor face to face.
Which detail from the text best supports the opinion that Frida Kahlo was a confident woman?
Most people showed respect for Diego Rivera.
Kahlo yelled boldly to get Rivera’s attention.

At a get-together at Modotti’s home, Kahlo saw Diego Rivera again. Later, he did not remember the shy young girl quietly watching the crowd of celebrities. But Kahlo was fascinated by the impetuous Rivera. In many ways they were alike. Both were outrageous pranksters and born masters of exaggeration. . . . "I began to be very interested in him, in spite of the fear I had of him,” she later recalled.
That interest would turn into the love of her life.
Which detail from this excerpt best supports the opinion that Diego Rivera was a fun and spontaneous person?
Kahlo saw Rivera at Modotti’s home.
Kahlo and Rivera both liked playing pranks.
Kahlo and Rivera were much alike.

What does the following passage mainly reveal (paragraphs 8-9)?
Generating sections that don’t need a human-provided fuel supply would be in better shape. Geothermal plants, which are powered by the Earth’s internal heat, can run for some time without human intervention.
According to the maintenance manual for the Svartsengi Island geothermal plant in Iceland, every six months the operators must change the gearbox oil and regrease all electric motors and couplings. Without humans to perform these sorts of maintenance procedures, some plants might run for a few years, but they’d all succumb to corrosion eventually.
Answer choices for the above question
A. Although some power plants don’t require human-provided fuel, they still require human maintenance.
B. All lights would quickly go out if there were no human beings on Earth.
C. All power plants need maintenance.
D. Geothermal plants are the ideal forms of power supply on Earth.
The passage reveals that A. Although some power plants don’t require human-provided fuel, they still require human maintenance.
What is an inference?
This is known as a conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.
Hence, we can see that the conclusion in paragraph 8-9 reveals that although the Geothermal plants do not need humans to function, they still sure requires human maintenance by changing gearbox oil and regreasing all electronic motors every six months.

Jodi, Jan, and Seth are hoping to form a band with the eleven or twelve kids lined up on the driveway.
