Explanation:

According to the situation being described in the question it seems like what has taken place is both sensation and perception. These are both very similar neurological processes but each has a small difference. Sensation deals with our actual world and the senses that stimulate us, While perception is how the brain processes and interprets those stimuli. Therefore the sound wave that stimulated your hearing senses was interpreted by your perception skills as your mom calling you for dinner.
