The various psychological processes which influence human behaviour are:
(i) Sensation: It refers to our cognizance of several stimuli that we come across in one-of-a-type modalities on the side of vision, hearing, touch, and taste.
For example, upon walking into a kitchen and smelling the scent of baking cinnamon rolls, the sensation is the scent receptors detecting the odour of cinnamon.
(ii) Attention: During attention we selectively focus on a particular stimulus among many stimuli available to us. For instance while listening to a lecture in the classroom we attend to the words pronounced by the teacher and, try to ignore
the other stimuli present in the classroom, such as noise made by the fan.
For example, when we try to recall memories, we have to attend to them to bring them from the long-term to the short-term memory store.
(iii) Perception: In the case of belief we way data and make out the means of the stimuli available to us. For instance, we have to examine a pan and recognize it as an object used for writing.
For example, perception may be “Mmm, this smells like the bread Grandma used to bake when the family gathered for holidays.”
(iv) Learning: It allows us to acquire new expertise and abilities thru revel in and practice. The received expertise and abilities further supply a relative extrude in our behaviour and facilitate our adjustment in diverse settings.
For example, A lot of our learning occurs randomly throughout life, from new experiences, gaining information and from our perceptions, for example: reading a newspaper or watching a news broadcast, talking with a friend or colleague, chance meetings and unexpected experiences.
