Introduction
When our sensory-organs comes in
contact with the world and are stimulated

by the external stimuli and receive the
sensations it result in perception.
Sensation is the initial response of an
individual to the stimuli.
Perception is the interpretation of
sensory stimuli which reach the sense
organs and the brain.

Definition
Perception is the experience of object,
events or relationships obtained by

extracting the information from and
interpreting the sensations.
(OR)
A process by which individuals organize
and interpret their sensory impressions
in order to give meaning to their
environment.

Process of perception
Perception is the process by which we
discriminate among the stimuli and

interpret their meanings.
Eg: when we hear a sound we are able
to identify it as being produced by a car
or a bus. Perception gives meaning to
sensation.

The Perceptual Process

1. Sensation
An individuals ability to
detect stimuli in the
immediate
environment.
2. Selection
The process a person
uses to eliminate some
of the stimuli that have
been sensed and to
retain others for further
processing.

3. Organization
The process of placing
selected perceptual
stimuli into a
framework for
storage.
4. Translation
The stage of the
perceptual process at
which stimuli are
interpreted and given
meaning. www.drjayeshpatidar.blogsp

Three Main Principles:
Grouping (proximity, similarity,

continuity, closure)
Goodness of figures
Figure/ground relationships

Law of Similarity:

Law of Good Continuation, or

Continuity
Objects arranged in either a
straight line or a smooth
curve tend to be seen as a
unit.

Goodness of Figure, or the Law of Pragnanz
(Pragnanz is German for Pregnant, but in the sense of

pregnant with meaning, not with child!)

Figure/Ground relationships
Figure seen as the foreground
Ground seen as the background
Contours belong to the figure

Can be affected by the

principle of smallness:
Smaller areas tend to be seen
as figures against a larger
background.

Gestalt laws of Grouping organize the

visual scene into units
The Law of Pragnanz, or Goodness of
Figure creates the simplest most meaningful
pattern
Figure/Ground relationships define
important parts of the scene

Factors influencing perception

Sense organs
Brain
Memory images of the past experience

Personal interests & mind set
Acquired interest
Needs and desires

CAUSES FOR INACCURATE

PERCEPTION
Defective functioning of sense organs
Inadequate stimulus
Too many stimuli at one time

Poor health
Limited attention
Figure merges in the ground

NURSING IMPLICATIONS OF
PERCEPTION
Accurate perception & observation are very important
for a nurse to provide quality care to a patient.

If she is not a keen observer she will not be able to
note some very critical or important symptoms with
the result that some times the patient may die
premature.
Accurate perception & observation will help the nurse
to gather accurate information & knowledge which will
help the nurse to learn more easily, adjust more
quickly to new situations.

Count
With accurate perception nurses memory
improve, recording & reporting is more

accurate & is helpful for the patient &
other health team members.
All types of false perceptions, illusions
should be scrupulously avoided by her.
