understood.

1. The brain signals the organs for the reflex action once the skin touches something hot or 
very cold and hence this is the evidence that sensory information is correct because it saves

2. The sensory perception of smell suggests danger in case of the smoke or any stench which 
can be verified by the actual fire or similar evidences of the rotten stuff signalling accuracy of

3. The sensory data obtained by the visual senses that is eyes can be verified by the other 
senses like aural and touch because the things perceived by the eyes are actually present and 
can be touched and felt or heard.
