Perception and Communication
Communication starts with our thoughts, and we use words, vocal cues
and our body language to convey these thoughts. Our thoughts are
experienced as internal representation of what our five senses perceive.
We re-experience life based on the sensory information we initially
perceived such as feelings, sights, sounds, etc. Think about how you
remember. Do you see pictures; hear sounds; re-live the feelings, or
re-experience tastes and smells? We also sometimes assume that
others think the same way we do. This presentation is designed to teach

representation of the world.
