How are sensation and perception related?

Answer by  CarolynOsborne (2804)

Sensation is the first step in cognition and perception is the second. You have all sorts of sensations you don't perceive such as when you are focusing on something you like, you may not pay attention to some other sensation.

Sensation and perception are very much complementary processes, in the sensation acquires external information through sensory means and the perception transforms it into something you can understand.
