Keywords:
Perception, Apperception, Gestalt, Cognitive scheme, Sensory interpretation, Objective reality, Constancy.Abstract
This article analyzes the essence of perception, one of the most complex and fundamental processes of the human psyche, through the prism of cognitive and humanistic psychology. The author interprets perception not as a simple mechanical accumulation of external signals, but as a process of reconstructing the world based on subjective experience, attitudes, and social context.
The theoretical part of the article explains the differences between perception and sensation, their interrelationship, and their role in organizing human activity. The practical significance of the research is revealed through a five‑stage model of perception, which describes the stages from receiving information to assigning subjective meaning to it.
