As I'm walking with my toddler son one day we see a beautiful rose, and I bend down to smell it. I notice, though, that there is a bee in the rose so I quickly back away. Before I can stop my son,
he has already stuck his nose into the rose and has been stung by the bee.
Which of the following best explains the differences in our behaviors?
My son had never seen a rose before, so he instinctively wanted to smell
and taste it.
Because our sensory experiences of a rose are different, his perception of
the affordances offered by the rose are different from mine.
Because of my life experience, my selective perception of the affordances
offered by the combination of the rose and the bee allowed me to know the
danger.
Because of my son's immature sense of smell, he wanted to get deeper into
the rose to smell it in spite of the bee.
Because of my life experience, my selective perception of the affordances
offered by the combination of the rose and the bee allowed me to know the
danger.
