  • The Auditory sense is responsible for the perception of sounds.
  • The Umami Olfactory sense is responsible for our sense of smell and taste.

So the answer is (a), kinesthesic. It is thanks to the kinesthetic sense that we can go up stairs easily without stopping to see and carefully control the movement of each of our legs.

  • <em>Cognition</em> is the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. In your example, the data obtained by the subject is still not processed.
