Document Summary
Link on blackboard (in experiments tab: psy100pool@psych. utoronto. ca. Lesson: we only have access to a limited subset of reality. There are things that we cannot perceive: we also have an attentional capacity, perception is a process of figuring out our best representation of the world, the behavioural subroutine is relevant to a person"s perception. We don"t experience reality like the way we talk about it: consciousness is not a rational thing. We process the world largely through the complex irrational web of biological connections: we are embodied awareness. If we can motivate ourselves to shape our reality, then we can create an unconscious reality: we judge people with what we have already thought them to be. We can live with these by putting ourselves on another person"s views: empowerment if our perception of reality is constructed, then we have control over the process.
