Perception involves three processes: sensation, interpretation, and response. Sensation refers to the process of receiving sensory information from the environment through our senses.

Finally, response refers to the behavioral or cognitive reactions that result from our interpretation of the sensory information. These three processes work together to allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us.Rate this question:

Figure-ground organization refers to the ability of our visual system to distinguish between a figure (the object of focus) and the background or surroundings. It involves focusing on one conversation while other conversations go on in the background. This process allows us to selectively attend to specific stimuli while filtering out irrelevant information. By separating the figure from the background, our brain can better perceive and understand the visual scene.Rate this question:

Perceptual Bias...
-
Occurs because we all see things differently
-
Selective attention and selective perception are involved in this

The above
Correct Answer
A. The aboveExplanation
Perceptual bias occurs because we all see things differently. Selective attention and selective perception are involved in this. This means that our individual experiences, beliefs, and attitudes can influence how we perceive and interpret information. These biases can lead to misunderstandings, misjudgments, and miscommunications, as different people may have different perspectives on the same situation. Therefore, perceptual bias is a result of the individual differences in perception and the involvement of selective attention and selective perception.Rate this question:
