Discussion:
Percpetual Processes, Sets and Interpetations
Josh and Jane enter a crowded party hosted by a casual acquaintance. Overwhelmed by all the sights, sounds, and smells, they start to size up the room, noting jocks by the bar and nerds standing outside.
QUESTIONS:
1. What are the perceptual processes involved in these various types of perceptual interpretations?
2. In what types of ways do your own perceptual sets create interpretations like this?
3. Can we change our perceptual sets and interpretations?
If so, provide an example of a time when you changes a perceptual interpretation.
