Sensing applies to sight, sound, taste. touch and smell and it is the process of taking in stimuli around us. It is impossible to process all of the stimulus around us, so we select which ones to focus our attention on.
Organizing is taking the selected stimuli and grouping them in either by patterns or by familiarity, such a family, work groups, friends.
Interpreting is how we given meaning to what to perceive and organize. Interpretation can be influenced by physical space, physical differences, past experiences and expectations.

What is the value of perception checking?

# data[].attributes.body
Perception checking is important because it allows people to see how each of us, as individuals, perceive the same message. Sometimes because people come from different backgrounds they may have different values and understandings, they may interpret the same message very differently. It may also help people connect on a deeper understanding.

I think that it is important to be aware of some of your personal limitations. That can be accomplished by self-evaluation and self-reflection.
A person's perception can be limited by what they know about the world around them.

How do the 4 primary factors influence perception?

# data[].attributes.body
The 4 main factors are physical space, physical differences, past experiences and expectations. Each of these factors can influence perception in different but equally important ways. First of all, physical space or position is an important influencer because if you are siting directly in front of someone, you are more able to connect by body language and direct eye contact. Physical differences influence our perception because we are comparing ourselves. Those differences or similarities can change the way that we interpret the information. Based on appearances, we have a pre-conceived bias based on what we have previously seen or known. Past experiences can influence your perception because you are automatically are interpreting the stimulus around us based on what you know, your family, your workplace, home language, culture, etc. Expectations are what you are expecting to happen in the future. Most people go into a conversation with a small idea of what the conversation will entail. An example that was used was a physician appointment, there was an expectation that the conversation will revolve around health.

Interpreting information can be different from others and we as educators must understand this vital point. Some students need visuals and others need a step by step guide.

Out of the 4 primary factors, which do you most connect with, and why?

# data[].attributes.body
I identify most with past experiences. I think that my past experiences influence how I interpret the world around me the most. As I am exposed to new information, I am constantly trying to connect it to what I already know. I am using my prior knowledge to have a deeper understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
Expectations is one of the primary factors that I could relate to the most. Expectations of others can sometime be a let down. Most times I can get so overwhelmed trying to over think a situation trying to expect to much from the person or the event.
