Psychologist William James would agree with which of the following statements:
William James (1842-1910) was one of the first psychologists to explore the connection between emotions and environmental events. Imperfect Perception 1) Is perception flawless? Hardly. For one thing, it is influenced by our desires, interests, and expectations. “From the outset perception is selective and tends to simplify the world around us. Memory continues and hastens the process.” For another, even within its limited focus, perception is often flawed. A college student who is positive that the textbook contains a certain statement answers an exam question with perfect confidence. Yet when the student gets the corrected text back and finds the question marked wrong, then hurriedly flips open the book and examines the passage again, he or she may find it says something else entirely. 2) Moviegoers in the 1930s and 1940s thrilled as Tarzan uttered his famous yell and swung through the treetops to catch the villain. Tell them that Tarzan never made that yell and they’ll say, “False, we heard it with our own ears.” And yet it’s not false. According to one of the men who first played the role of Tarzan, Buster Crabbe, that yell was dubbed into the films in the studio. It was a blend of three voices—a soprano’s, a baritone’s, and a hog-caller’s. 3) At least a dozen times every weekend from September to January, the imperfection of human observation is underlined by that marvel of technology, the instant replay. Is there a football fan anywhere who doesn’t occasionally scream, “Bad Call!” only to be proved wrong a moment later? We can be sure enough to bet a week’s wages that the pass receiver’s feet came down inbounds or that the running back’s knee hit the ground before the ball came loose. And then the replay shows us how erroneous our initial perception was. 4) The vagaries of perception have long been noted by those who deal with human testimony – notably, trial lawyers, police officers, and psychologists. It is well established that a number of factors can make us see and hear inaccurately. Darkness, cloudy conditions, or distance from what we are witnessing may obscure our vision. We may be distracted at a crucial moment. If we are tired or in the grip of powerful emotions such as fear or anger, our normal perceptiveness may be significantly diminished. Also perception may be intermingled with interpretation – the expectation that an event will unfold in a certain way may color our perception of the way the event actually unfolds. Loyalty and affection toward the people or things involved may distort our vision as well. If someone we dislike speaks in a loud voice and is animated, we may regard that person as showing off to get attention. But if a friend behaves in the same way, we may regard him or her as vivacious and extroverted. Imperfect Memory 5) Even when our perception is initially flawless, our memory often distorts the data. We forget details, and when later attempting to recall what happened, we resort to imagination to fill in the blanks. Though we may at first be aware that such a process of reconstruction is occurring, this awareness soon fades, and we come to believe we are remembering the original perception. As psychologist William James explained: 6) The most frequent source of false memory is the accounts we give to others of our experiences. Such acts we almost always make more simple and more interesting than the truth. We quote what we should have said or done rather than what we really said or did; and in the first telling we may be fully aware of the distinction, but [before] long the fiction expels the reality from memory, and [replaces it]. We think of what we wish happened, or possible [interpretations] of acts, and soon we are unable to distinguish between our own thoughts about what might have occurred. Our wishes, hopes, and sometimes fears are the controlling factor. 7) As if this weren’t enough, memory is vulnerable to contamination from outside the mind. Memory expert Elizabeth Loftus showed children a one-minute film and then asked, “Did you see a bear?” or “Did you see a boat?” They remembered seeing them, even though no bears or boats were in the film. She also showed adults a film of an auto accident and then asked them about it. By using the word “smash” instead of “hit,” she was able to change the viewers’ estimate of the cars’ speed and to create a memory of broken glass where there was none. In another experiment, Loftus asked the parents of college students to describe some events from their sons’ and daughters’ childhoods. Then she talked with each student about those events but also added a fake event or two. With only slight coaxing, the students “remembered” the fake events, were able to elaborate on the details, and in some cases refused to believe they were fake even when Loftus explained what she had done. a. Our memories of our experiences don’t change over time. b. Memory is ordinarily very accurate and trustworthy in recording an event. c. Our memories of an event can be distorted by what we think should have happened. d. Eyewitness testimony is extremely reliable.
