Explain how bias can influence our perception of images. Give an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Student examples will vary. A sample answer follows: Bias can influence how we perceive even simple images. For example, you know that your friend is coming to your house at 3:30, so when you look out the window at 3:25 and see a distant, unidentifiable figure walking up your street, you are likely to perceive the figure as your friend, even though you would not perceive it in the same way in a different situation.
