Experience with Parameters of PerceptionExperiment with Parameters of PerceptionWebster's dictionary defines perception as knowledge through the senses and/or life that has an influence on people's perception (Parker, 2010).

Eyes tell people what they want to see and know. They explain to you how to conceive of a person and their behaviors as well as their reactions. It essentially judges the world around you. We are able to perceive how a person reacts to certain situations only by observing them. Perception applies to the interpretation of what we sense through our senses, in terms of optical illusions. Optical illusions occur because our brains try to define what we envision and make sense of the world around us. If the perception has no basis in a person's experience, they may literally not perceive it. Perception is a method by which people establish and define their sensory impressions to give meaning to their environment. Critical thinking is something we all practice, as the regularity can vary from person to person. In a real-life situation, we may unconsciously use perceptual choices when seeing and meeting other people, for example: “through the process of selective attention, the brain chooses the information that is important to us and rejects the rest » (Folk and Remington, 1998; Kramer et al., 2000). To better understand how the mind works, an experiment was performed to confirm the perceptions people create. Three subjects were chosen to provide evidence that people unthinkingly create judgments and generalize...... middle of paper ...... their sensory impressions to give meaning to their surroundings."ReferencesCarpenter, S. a.
