Objectives The student will be able to define perception in their own words The Student will be able to interpret illusions and explain why their perception may be different from their fellow classmates The student will be able to describe how perception can result in conflicts

Chapter 8 Section 3 Perception

Perception Receives information from the senses and organizes and interprets it into meaningful experiences-unconsciously Allows us to confront changes in environment Need to adapt to change

Principles of Perception Organizations Brain Always trying to make sense Creates wholes out of bits and pieces (Gestalt) Our brain will automatically fill in the blanks

Illusions Incorrect perceptions Created when perceptual cues are distorted so that our brains cannot correctly interpret space, size and depth cues.

Figure Ground Perception Pick out the figure vs. background

Perceptual Inference Automatically and unconsciously we fill in gaps. EX: When we hear a barking noise as you approach a house you assume it is a dog, not cat

Learning to Perceive Perceiving is something that people learn to do Influenced by our needs, belief, and expectations Perception of old women as honest, would not think twice about leaving a wallet with one

Subliminal Perception Subliminal messages-brief auditory or visual messages that are presented below the absolute threshold

Depth Perception The ability to recognize distances and three-dimensionality Psychologists place infants on large tables and found that they most likely will not crawl over the edge

Constancy Changing conditions-still see and seem the same

Extrasensory Perception Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the purported ability to acquire information by paranormal means independent of any known physical senses or deduction from previous experience.
