Identify the stages of the perception process

What will be an ideal response?


The three stages in the perception process are stimulation, organization, and
interpretation­evaluation. In stage one we receive stimuli, organized and received through
selective attention and/or selective exposure. In stage two, the brain compares the stimuli to
schemata to determine appropriate reactions. In the third stage, interpretation­evaluation
involves generalizing stimuli for quicker and easier categorization; however, one must beware
of stereotyping.
