Taj wants to create a robot that has sensation but not perception. The robot should A) detect external physical energy but not interpret it. B) understand what things are but be unable to respond to them. C) react to light but not to the stimuli for taste, smell, or touch. D) construct useful information but be unable to remember it.

Solution

A. Detect external physical energy but not interpret it.

Sensation: physical energy is converted into neural signals
our sense organs\' detection of and responses to external stimulus energy and how those responses are transmitted to the brain.
Perception: signals are selected, organized, and interpreted
the brain\'s further processing of these detected signals that results in internal representations of the stimuli - form your conscious experience

Sensation and perception are two stages in the process whereby we construct our internal representation of the environment
