The process by which sensory information is actively organised and interpreted by brain, is called :
Perception
Option 3 — Perception is correct.
Perception is the cognitive process by which individuals select, organise and interpret the sensory stimuli they receive, giving meaning to their environment. The stem’s wording — sensory information “actively organised and interpreted by the brain” — is essentially the textbook definition of perception. Two people can receive the same stimulus yet perceive it very differently because perception is shaped by the perceiver’s attitudes, motives, experience and expectations, by the characteristics of the target, and by the situation.
Why the other options are wrong:
| Term | What it actually means |
|---|---|
| Attitude | A learned predisposition to respond favourably or unfavourably toward something — an evaluation, not the interpreting of sensory input |
| Learning | A relatively permanent change in behaviour that results from experience |
| Training | A planned effort to help employees acquire job-related knowledge and skills |
Only perception refers specifically to organising and interpreting sensory data into a meaningful picture of the world.
Takeaway: perception is the active organisation and interpretation of sensory information into meaning.
