1. Sensory perception: This is the most basic level of perception, involving the use of our five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell) to gather information about the world around us.
2. Selective perception: This level involves the filtering and prioritizing of sensory information based on our individual interests, beliefs, and experiences. We tend to pay more attention to stimuli that are relevant to us and ignore those that are not.
3. Interpretive perception: At this level, we begin to make sense of the information we have gathered through our senses and filtered through selective perception. We assign meaning to the stimuli based on our past experiences, cultural background, and personal beliefs.
4. Perceptual organization: This level involves organizing and categorizing the information we have interpreted in order to create a coherent and meaningful understanding of our environment. We group similar stimuli together and identify patterns and relationships between them.
5. Perceptual constancy: This is the highest level of perception, where we maintain a stable and consistent perception of the world despite changes in the stimuli we encounter. This involves recognizing objects and events as being the same even when they appear different due to changes in lighting, distance, or angle. Perceptual constancy allows us to have a stable and reliable understanding of our surroundings.

1. Sensory Perception: - Detecting sensory stimuli from the environment through the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). - Involves converting physical stimuli into neural signals.
2. Pattern Recognition: - Organizing and interpreting sensory information into meaningful patterns. - Detecting regularities, structures, and relationships in the stimuli.
3. Object Recognition: - Identifying and classifying objects based on their characteristics. - Matching sensory information to stored mental representations of objects.
4. Language Comprehension: - Understanding the meaning of spoken or written words. - Associating words with concepts and ideas.
5. Semantic Memory Retrieval: - Retrieving knowledge and memories from long-term memory to make sense of the present situation. - Accessing stored information to understand the context and implications of stimuli.
