Science
Experience
It feels as though we see the world as it is.
We don’t.
Perception is constructed from the signals available to the brain. They arrive through the senses and from within the body, and are interpreted in relation to prior knowledge, current physiology and predictions about what is most likely to happen next.
Continuity
New information is received within an existing history. What has already been learned forms the basis for understanding the present and responding to it.
Updating
Past experience is the starting point, not the final answer. Existing expectations can be reinforced or revised according to what happens. This balance provides stability while retaining the flexibility to adjust as circumstances change.
Regulation
Anticipation also helps the body prepare for what may be required. Physiological adjustments can begin before a situation has fully developed, allowing energy and other resources to be directed towards likely needs.
Organisation
These elements do not operate independently. Together, they form an adaptive organisation spanning perception, emotion, cognition and behaviour.
