Discussion Question
The role of attention is especially important in perception as it determines which information is inputted and encoded (which also affects memory and learning). Most variations in processing are due to individual differences in cognition and/or environmental conditions that may impact attention. However, perceptual "deficits" are often caused by neurological abnormalities that impact everyday functioning. How might any of the above factors affect one or more aspects of perception? Provide examples.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
