impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.
A) Sensation
B) Impression
C) Apprehension

D) Our perception of reality is independent of our past experiences.
E) We form a perception of a target by looking at it in isolation.
Our perception of reality can be different from the objective reality. Our perception of
reality is affected by our personality, past experiences, and the context of the situation
in which the perception is made. We do not look at targets in isolation.
When two people witness something at the same time and in the same situation yet

unattractive individuals. Because we don't look at targets in isolation, the relationship of
a target to its background influences our perception of the target.
