I will discuss three reasons for believing in the accuracy of sensory data, three factors contributing to the accuracy of sensory data, and the role of memory with regard to the interpretation and evaluation of sensory data. Our senses act as our lenses, amplifiers, particle detectors, and pressure and heat gauges (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). Our sense of smell warns us of dangers, such as
