Perception and Cognition

Perception is attained by the five senses; yet it is also imprinted

in the human brain which enables us to do everyday tasks without

much effort. I think perception is also linked to the development

of consciousness. The way in which we perceive our environment

influences our awareness which, in turn, enables us to perceive better

and more efficiently and quicker I would say. Besides making us gain

time, a quicker perception allows us to adapt better to our

immediate environment, economize energy, and make quicker

mental synapses, hence, augment our cognitive capacities.
