PERCEPTION

DEFINITION
• Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret
their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their
environment .
FACTORS AFFECTING PERCEPTION
• The sense organ
• Brain
• Past experience
• Learning
• Emotions
• Our acquired interest
• Motives
• Self concept
• Set and expectations
PRINCIPLES OF PERCEPTION
• Individuals tend to organize environmental stimuli into some
meaningful patterns or whole according to certain principles.
PRINCIPLE OF
FIGURE –
GROUND
RELATIONSHIP
A figure is perceived in
relationship to its
background. The
perception of the object
or figure in terms of color,
size ,shape and intensity
etc.
PRINCIPLE OF
CLOSURE
While confronting an
incomplete pattern one
tends to complete or
close the pattern or fill in
sensory gaps and
perceive it as a
meaningful whole.
PRINCIPLE OF GROUPING
• It refers to a tendency to perceive stimuli some organized meaningful
patterns by grouping them on some solid basis like Similarity ,
Proximity and Continuity .
PRINCIPLE OF
SIMILARITY
Objects or stimuli
which look alike are
usually perceived as a
unit .
PRINCIPLE OF
PROXIMITY
On basis of objects or
stimuli , which appear
close to one another are
likely to be perceived a
belonging to the same
group .
PRINCIPLE OF
CONTINUITY
The objects or stimuli are
perceived as a unit or
group on the basis of
their continuity. Our
attention is being held
more by a continuous
pattern rather than
discontinuous ones .
PRINCIPLE OF
SIMPLICITY
We perceive the simplest
possible pattern because
they enable the perceiver
to perceive the whole
from some of its parts.
PRINCIPLE OF
CONTOUR
A contour is said to be a
boundary between a figure
and its ground . The degree of
the quality of this contour
separating the figure from the
ground is responsible for
enabling us to organize stimuli
or objects into meaningful
pattern .
PRINCIPLE OF
CONTRAST
Perceptual organization
is very much affected
through contrast effects
as the stimuli that are
in sharp contrast to
nearby stimuli may
draw our maximum
attention .
PRINCIPLE OF
ADAPTABILITY
The perceptual organization
for some stimuli depends
upon the adaptability of the
perceives to perceive similar
stimuli. An individual who
adapts himself to work before
an intense bright light will
perceive normal sunlight as
quite dim.
ERRORS IN PERCEPTION
• Perceptual errors creep into this process under certain circumstances
leading to impaired perception, these are : Illusion and hallucination .
• ILLUSION :
• Is a misinterpretation of actual perception. When the interpretation
of a particular stimulus goes wrong . It gives rise to a wrong
perception or illusion .
• HALLUCINATION :
These are sensory perceptions , in the absence of any corresponding
external sensory stimuli .
Types : visual , auditory , kinaesthetic , olfactory , gustatory .
