From the Paper:
"Cognitions exist as the mental processes carried out by humans daily (Robinson-Riegler & Robinson-Riegler, 2008). These mental processes include the concept of forming perceptions from information obtained about percepts and the concept of attention. Perceptions form as a person organizes and interprets the incoming information gathered from the attention process that involves focusing sensory devices, such as eyes and ears, onto a particular set of information details, such as the colors of a beach ball or the sound of a fan blowing. Both perception and attention possess specific processes to function and process the gathered information for behavioral outputs. The following defines both concepts in detail, breaks down the perceptual organizational processes, analyzes the attention process, and explains the unique relationship between perception and attention, providing specific examples of the relationship."Sample of Sources Used:
