How does your own reality get in the way of
your learning?
This is not an easy question to answer. Often
yo
ur
perception
is
your reality
.
You make decisions based on your perceptions every day. From
deciding which clothes you will wear, what types of things you will to
buy in a store, whether you or not you trust someone, and so on, are
all premises based on your perceptions. To illustrate how your
perception can easily change your outlook or misguide you, take a
look at the visual examples that follow. As you do, you will also notice
that there are some rules known as
perceptional cues
that guide
your understanding of how you view the world.
By having a basic understanding of these cues, you will become
more aware of your own reality, and consequently gain a deeper
level of understanding of how you perceive the world.
