Although our sensory systems generally do a good job informing us about what’s going on in the world, there are situations where our perception does not match reality. Sometimes, people act on the basis of flawed perceptions, and the results aren’t always good. For this option, write about a situation in which a perceptual error caused an interesting (i.e. sad or funny) result. BE sure to address the following: (a) clearly describe the scenario, and the behavioral result, (b) identify relevant sensory and perceptual processes and the source of the error (c) discuss what (if anything) could have been done to correct the error, or avoid the “interesting” result. Note: This paper option should be about sensory and perceptual processing, not about opinions, beliefs, or impressions, etc.
There should be a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
