In the lecture, you learned about many cognitive processes, including perception. Perception involves how people interpret and make sense of the world around them. As you learned, there are a variety of perceptual errors, including the recency effect and the halo effect. These errors help to explain why an individual’s perceptions might not correspond with reality and why people can have such differing perceptions from one another.
For discussion, you will apply this material to your personal or professional life. Please address the following in your initial post:
Summarize a time where your perception differed greatly from that of another person.
In so doing, make sure to describe your own perception and the other person’s and explain whether either of you might have been displaying one of the perceptual errors you learned about in lecture (halo effect, recency effect, etc.).
Detail what the results of this perceptual difference were. For instance, did it lead to hostility or difficulty finding common ground?
Outline specific ways this situation could have been handled differently using tips from lecture.
Identify some strategies you will use in the future to ensure you are perceiving reality as accurately as possible and not succumbing to perceptual errors.
