Differentiate the terms Perception and Sensation

Question

Briefly differentiate the terms Perception and Sensation?

Answer 1

Sensation generally refers to the instant, relatively unprocessed outcome of the stimulation of sensory receptors in eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.

Perception on other hand, better explains one‘s ultimate experience of the world and usually includes further processing of the sensory input. In practice, sensation and perception are almost not possible to separate, as they are the part of one constant process.
