Define the four types of distortion in perception. Provide an example of each.
What will be an ideal response?
The four types of distortion are:
1. Stereotyping: the tendency to attribute to an individual the characteristics one believes are typical of the group to which that individual belongs.
2. The halo effect: the tendency to form an impression of an individual based on a single trait, positive or negative.
3. The recency effect: the tendency to remember recent information better than earlier information, perhaps because when you activate your recall, the later recollections are still present in working memory.
4. Causal attribution: the activity of inferring causes for observed behavior.
The student should then give an example of each.
