Answer the Questions

There are many takeaways of perception from this information. The first is the three factors which influence perception, namely, factors in the target, situation, and the perceiver. Of these three factors, I have noted that a person’s traits, for instance, interests and experiences, tend to influence one’s interpretation of what he/she sees. For example, the people in the video of “Selective Attention Test” seem to pass balls in a manner similar to the basketball sport. An avid sports fan most likely answered the correct answer because his/her interest in sports influenced what he/she saw on the video.
