The process of Human Perception
• Perception – making meaning by selection, organizing, and interpreting people, objects, events, situations, and other phenomena
• Perception consists of three processes – selection, organization, and interpretation
- Selection – we choose what to notice based upon what stands out, who you are, culture, and what is going on inside us
- Organization – we organize what we see and attach meaning by applying schemata (constructivism)
- Interpretation - Processing and explaining our perceptions so they make sense to us. Attributions – explanation of how or why something happened.
