7 Perception is a function of the person s use of internalized concepts to comprehend the external stimuli in the environment. Demonstration: (Remember when Mark did a number on Cynnie s back?) The touch is peripheral. The language codes are central.

8 Different sensations (different patterns of energy) may result in the same perception. (the sound)

20 Bottom-up Processing refers to the influence of the physical energy (the stimulus) on the process of perception. These are more universal, stimulus-driven (environmentally-driven) perceptions.

21 Top-down Processing refers to the influence of higher level processes (long-term memory associations) on the process of perception. These are more ideosyncratic, conceptually-driven (persondriven) perceptions. examples will follow

22 Psychological Factors that influence perception Needs Billboards for food/lodging & Expectations Waiting & Your friend on the telephone Beliefs Seeing a UFO Values The 1990 Pepsi can Is it Good or Bad? Culture Kenge of the BaMuti tribe (1961) Prior Experience The face of reality

23 Perception guides our thoughts, emotions, and our overt behavior at every moment. & Perception is affected by our thoughts, emotions, and overt behavior at every moment.
