Passage 2
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see.
Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each
perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the people who look out the window, one may say that he
sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees rush-hour traffic jam at
the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four
children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our
eyes—tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just now a person experiences or
perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up
experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of
many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally
different things about the same scene.
35. Seeing and perceiving are___________.
A. the same action
B. two separate actions
C. two actions carried on entirely by eyes
