Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that sensation is the process that allows the body to take in stimuli from outside of it; whereas, perception
is based on what our own brain recognizes and how it processes the sensations of taste, smell, touch, vision, and hearing send to it. The author points out that classical and operant conditioning are two ways of learning; both have the elements of response to stimuli and are learned in response to stimuli. However, there are differences related to the person's incentives, reinforcement, and active or passive learning. The paper relates that the three kinds of memory are explicit, episodic, and semantic and that the components of cognition are problem-solving, creativity, reasoning, and judgment.
