What Is The Definition of Perception?

Perception is the processing of sensory information to make sense of its significance. It involves parallel processing to analyze color, shape, and motion simultaneously using both bottom-up processing, which slowly processes information, and top-down processing, which is driven by memories and expectations. Perceptual organization uses both types of processing. Gestalt principles that influence perception include similarity, pragnanz, proximity, continuity, closure, symmetry, law of common fate, and law of past experiences.
