People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us. In this module, you will learn about the biological processes of sensation and how these can be combined to create perceptions.

It explains how Gick and Holyoak investigated this method using Duncker's radiation problem and the General's story. Their study highlighted the three steps crucial for analogical problem solving: noticing connections, mapping problem elements, and applying the mapping to solve the target problem.

When sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor, sensation has occurred. For example, light that enters the eye causes chemical changes in cells that line the back of the eye. These cells relay messages, in the form of action potentials (as you learned when studying biopsychology), to the central nervous system. The conversion from sensory stimulus energy to action potential is known as transduction.

Moreover, touch is a source of pleasure. In this module, we review how information about our environment and our bodies is coded in the periphery & interpreted by the brain as touch and pain sensations. We discuss how these experiences are often dramatically shaped by top-down factors like motivation, expectation, mood, fear, stress, & context.
