    Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions to make sense of their environment. It involves selecting stimuli, organizing that information, and interpreting it based on existing knowledge. Perception is influenced by factors in the perceiver like attitudes and expectations, factors in the target or situation like novelty and proximity, and shortcuts in judgment like selective perception, halo effects, and stereotyping.
