Senses

Sight, Smell, Touch, Hearing, and Taste

The sharper our sense of Smell, touch, hearing, sight, and taste are the better our perception of things, the better we are at gathering facts about what is around us!

As human beings, we are typically gifted with five senses by which we receive information−sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.

Unless somehow restricted, our brain is continuously and simultaneously being stimulated, receiving information via all five senses all the time. If you walk into the kitchen when a batch of cinnamon rolls are baking, you can see, hear, smell, touch, and eventually taste−all at the same time!−those wonderful rolls. Which sense or senses do you choose to enter your perception process? What if not only cinnamon rolls but chocolate brownies were baking? What if you are on a diet? Oh the stimulation! Oh the decisions!

Sight

Complicated process

Sight is the biggest impact to our perception

Where learning begins

Smell

Important

Connected to sight

Hearing

The second most important

Touch

the researchers report that humans can perceive miniscule changes in surfaces—down to a microscopic 13 nanometers, about the width of a human hair. Your perception of touch is relied on when you can no longer see. Your perception of touch helps you make judgements about people and things. Think of intimacy and touch as a child how we rely and crave the need to be touched. (basu, 2013)
