Document Summary
We then use this knowledge to guide perceptions. Our brains learn to perceive reality by being exposed to reality and what we are exposed to is largely what we perceive: because we haven"t developed patterns to perceive things that we don"t know, + feedback loop. What knowledge does the brain use to guide perception? remember neurons that fire together wire together so more use of a system would then make it easier to activate. No, you know you were walking down st. george and the next step you take you"ll still be on st. george street (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) A similar effect occurs as a result of how our brains rely on contextual cues for guiding our info processing. Ex. how the letters in a word can be all messed up but you can still read it as long as the first and last letters are in the right place.
