One of the major principles of perception is Raw sensory input by itself does not produce or explain the coherent picture of the world that most adults possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human beings are constantly bombarded with stimuli during every minute and every hour of every day. The sensory world is made up of an almost infinite number of discrete sensations, which are constantly and minutely changing. According to the principles of sensation, such heavy intensity of stimulation should serve to “turn off’ most individuals, as the body protects itself from the heavy bombardment to which it is subjected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, the billions of different stimuli to which we are constantly exposed might serve to confuse us totally and keep us perpetually disoriented in a constantly changing environment. However, neither of these consequences tends to occur, because perception is not a function of sensory input alone, rather, it is the result of two different kinds of inputs that interact to form the personal pictures\u2014the perceptions\u2014that each individual experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One type of input is physical stimuli from the outside environment, the other type of input is provided by individuals themselves in the form of certain predispositions, such as expectations, motives, and learning based on previous experience. The combination of these two very different kinds of inputs produces for each of us a very private, very personal picture of the world.

This explains why no two people see the world in precisely the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individuals are very selective as to which stimuli they “recognize”, they organize the stimuli they do recognize subconsciously according to widely held psychological principles’ and they give meaning to such stimuli (i.e. the interpret them subjectively in accordance with their needs, expectations, and experiences.
