ANSWERS:

Sensation, in neurology and psychology, any concrete, conscious experience resulting from stimulation of a specific sense organ, sensory nerve, or sensory area in the brain. The word is used in a more general sense to indicate the whole class of such experiences. In ordinary speech the word is apt to be ambiguous; it is frequently used in such a way as to leave uncertain whether the speaker is referring to the process of sensing or to whatever it is that is being sensed (e.g., the apparent painful stimulus, sound of a bell, or red glow of a fire). This double meaning has produced confusion about whether or not sensations are purely mental (as opposed to physical). Though the process of sensing is thought by some to be purely mental, some psychologists and philosophers hold that what is sensed is normally a physical quality existing independently of mind: e.g., the grass is literally green whether or not any person is present to perceive it. To avoid this ambiguity, Bertrand Russell, in England, introduced the term sense-datum to signify what is sensed or “given in sensation”; the word sensation is then reserved for a so-called mental process or activity.
