Before we begin, let's think about a question: Is "I see a red flag" the same as "I see a red flag"? What's the difference between the same words? In the first sentence, the final destination is red, and only the eye has a corresponding reaction. In psychology, we call it feeling. Second, the ultimate goal is the national flag. Through the overall understanding of the red rectangle and yellow five-pointed star, we finally made it clear that what we saw was the national flag. This whole reaction to a thing in our minds is called perception. So what are the basic characteristics of perception? Let's learn and discuss together. This part of the content is mainly examined in the form of multiple-choice questions, so it is enough to understand and judge each feature.

1. Perceptual selectivity

When we go to the railway station to meet our girlfriend, we can quickly find the person we want to meet in the vast sea of people. This is the selectivity of perception. In the process of choosing, we will take strangers as the background and the people we want to find as the perceptual objects. For example, teachers let students draw keywords in red in class, which is to use the selectivity of perception.

2. Perceived integrity

In music class, the teacher sang the beginning of a song. I know that he is singing about my people and my country. This is the integrity of perception. The beginning of this song belongs to some of my people, my country, and the whole song is known through some lyrics, which means the integrity of perception. In the same way, people can also understand each part through the whole. For example, we can complete incomplete works of art, and when we do English cloze, we make use of the holistic characteristics of perception.

3. Understanding of perception

For example, "Different people have different views", "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers", and everyone will look at the same thing based on their own experiences, thus producing their own understanding and views, which is the understanding of perception.

4. The constancy of perception

Standing on the train track and looking forward, we can see parallel lines nearby, but when we see them in the distance, we still know that they are two parallel tracks (with the same shape). At night, in the room where the light is not turned on, we see that the national flag is black and red, but we still know that it is red (the color remains the same); Two children argue about the sun, but we still know that the size of the sun has not changed. Turn on the flashlight, it is not obvious during the day, but it feels particularly bright in the dark room at night (the brightness is constant).

The content is relatively simple. Let's practice through the topic:

1. glimpse the whole leopard. Perceived wholeness: You can know that the whole is a leopard through some spots.

2. Firecrackers are set off during the Chinese New Year. The sound heard in the room is smaller than that in the yard, but I know that firecrackers are just as loud. (constancy of perception)

The painter simply drew a few strokes. Some people think he is drawing a tiger, others think he is drawing a cat. (Understanding of perception: Everyone feels differently)

Hunters only see wild animals when they enter the mountains, and woodcutter only sees firewood when they enter the mountains. Perceptual selectivity: in many contexts, only choose what you need.

The above contents hope to help everyone!
