Sensations: how we perceive and remember them

Feelings are an integral part of our life. They help us navigate the world around us and also help us remember information. How we perceive and remember sensations depends on many factors, including our senses and brain.

As a rule, we easily remember people, places and things with which we had positive emotions. For example, children can develop a sense of self-confidence if they are surrounded by good relationships in the family, where there is joy, success and satisfaction. Encouraging your child to remember joyful and pleasant events by reminding him of what he was wearing, what happened to him and, most importantly, how he felt at the time, can help him retain these emotions in memory and recall them in the future.

Our perception of the world depends on our senses and brain. Sense organs such as the eyes, ears, skin, tongue and nose receive information from the external environment and transmit it to the brain. The brain processes this information and creates sensations.

However, our perception of the world is not always a perfectly correct and complete picture of the reality around us. There are many phenomena for which we do not have effective receptors. In addition, even those stimuli to which we are sensitive can be “distorted” in the process of their perception.

It is extremely important to remember that all nerve impulses are qualitatively the same. This means that the ringing of a bell produces exactly the same impulses as pressing the skin with a pin or any other of the countless possible irritations. Qualitative discrimination of stimuli depends on the receptor, the brain, or both at the same time.

Our ability to distinguish red from green, hot from cold, or red from cold is due primarily to the fact that certain sense organs and their individual sensory cells are connected to certain parts of the brain. Since sensations are caused only by those nerve impulses that reach the brain, blocking the impulse on its path along the nerve fibers with the help of some anesthetic substance always leads to the same result as the complete elimination of the original stimulus.

In conclusion, sensations play an important role in our lives, helping us perceive and remember information about the world around us. Our perception of the world depends on our senses and brain, which work together to create sensations. Good emotions and memories can help us maintain feelings of confidence and happiness in the future. However, it is important to remember that our perception of the world is not a perfectly true and complete picture of reality, and some phenomena may be inaccessible to perception by our senses.
