Answer to Problem 1.1KB
When a person is prepared to perceive events in a particular way, it is said that a perceptual expectancy or set exists.
Explanation of Solution
The raw data about the outside world provided by our senses should be interpreted in order to make sense of information. This could be achieved by organizing the data based on our perception. The perceptual set is also called perceptual expectancy, which is a group of hope to perceive things in a particular way. Perceptual sets are created by people while interpreting hazy situations in the way they want it to be. Thus, the perceptual set is perceiving some aspects of sensory data that are available while ignoring others.
