Perceptual Settings ExperimentPerceptual Settings ExperimentWebster's dictionary determines that perception is the knowledge of the senses and/or life that has an influence on the perception of people (Parker, 2010). The way people perceive things is based on their five senses. The sense of sight was the primary sense used in the following experiment, as was a person's memory. Eyes tell people what they want to see and what they want to know. They tell you how to conceive a person, their behaviors and their reactions. It essentially judges the world around you. It is possible to perceive how a person reacts to certain situations entirely by observing them. Perception applies to the interpretation of what we perceive through our senses, in terms of optical illusions. Optical illusions occur because our brains are trying to define what we imagine and make sense of the world around us. If the perception has no basis in a person's experience, a person may literally not perceive it. Perception is a method by which people set and define their sensory impressions to give meaning to their environment.” Critical thinking is something we all do, because the regularity can vary from person to person. In a real life situation one may unconsciously use perceptual choice when seeing and meeting other people, for example, "through the process of selective attention, the brain chooses we eliminate the information that is important to us and discard the rest" ( Folk & Remington, 1998; Kramer et al., 2000).To better understand how the mind works, an experiment was conducted to confirm the perceptions created by people. Three subjects were chosen to demonstrate that people create judgments and generalize without think about it... at the center of the paper ......their sensory impressions to make meaning of their environment”.ReferencesCarpenter, S. a.
