Perceptual Set
• Expectations
• Emotion
• Motivation
• Culture
The physical stimulus '13' is the same in each case but is perceived
differently because of the influence of the context in which it appears.
We EXPECT to see a letter in the context of other letters of the
alphabet, whereas we EXPECT to see numbers in the context of other
numbers.
(b) We may fail to notice printing/writing errors for the same reason.
For example:
2.
(a) and (b) are examples of interaction between expectation and past
experience.
(v) personality
(b) A more recent study into the effect of emotion on perception was
carried out by Kunst- Wilson & Zajonc (1980). Participants were
repeatedly presented with geometric figures, but at levels of exposure
too brief to permit recognition.
The results indicted that both children and adults found it difficult to
perceive depth in the pictures.

Pictures are 2D; They didn't even use a 3/4 isometric perspective...
"The cross-cultural studies seem to indicate that history and culture play an important part in how we perceive our environment."
So, results from *exclusively* 2D tests are generalized and applied to the 3D world? O...K...
This type of behavior is one of many reasons why the rest of Cog. Sci. doesn't really like you guys!
The 2D Image had two depth cues that should indicate to a person that this is a 2D representation of a 3D environment.
The picture is designed to create an illusion of depth.

The "Vernon" that published the above set information was indeed a female British Psychologist. :-)
