    “People tend to think of perception as a passive process. We see, hear, smell, taste or feel stimuli that impinge upon our senses. We think that if we are at all objective, we record what is actually there. Yet perception is demonstrably an active rather than a passive process; it constructs rather than records “reality.” Perception implies understanding as well as awareness. It is a process of inference in which people construct their own version of reality on the basis of information provided through the five senses.
    As already noted, what people in general and analysts in particular perceive, and how readily they perceive it, are strongly influenced by their past experience, education, cultural values, and role requirements, as well as by the stimuli recorded by their receptor organs.
    Many experiments have been conducted to show the extraordinary extent to which the information obtained by an observer depends upon the observer’s own assumptions and preconceptions. For example, when you looked at



    Figure 1 above, what did you see?”(Richards J. Heuer, Jr.)

    Post comments on what you see, or think you see.

    Full case study and source to be revealed later.

    I'm feeling intellectual today.

    Just a simple example of seeing what we think is there, not what is there. There is an inherent blindness to human existence.

    That's pretty nifty. I didn't catch the duplicate the's and a's...in fact I didn't catch them when exstatic correctly included them. And I was looking for something odd...it wasn't until I went and read the phrases word by word that I noticed them.

    It's like my brain has autocomplete and a duplicate word filter or something.

    It's because, as adults, we don't need to read those lines. We "know" what it says just from recognition. Don't try this on a 6 year old. They will catch it everytime because they "read" what it says.
