Perception

How sensory input becomes organized, interpreted experience.

Direct answer

Perception is the process through which sensory information is organized and interpreted into awareness of objects, relationships, and events.

Mechanism

How it works

01
Sensory signals provide constraints, but interpretation also depends on context, expectations, and prior knowledge.
02
Perceptual sets can make some features easier to notice than others.
03
Perception therefore reflects both incoming structure and the system interpreting it.

Consequence

01
Different representations of the same situation can expose different action possibilities.
02
Perception is one place where Perspective Expansion connects cognitive science to decision architecture.
