Perceptual Errors
Perceptual Organization

Similarity is described as the tendency to group similar items. Similarity is much like stereotyping. Stereotyping is when someone judges another person on the perception of the group to which that person belongs.
Proximity is described as the tendency to group elements that are close together. Implicit theories allow the presence of one characteristic to bring up a list of other characteristics that one would “think” goes with it. Implicit theories group elements that close together.
Closure is the tendency to fill in the gaps in incomplete stimuli. A perception of people that apply to closure would be the Halo Effect. The halo effect allows one salient characteristic to overshadow ones evaluation of another in multiple arenas. In other words a person will “fill in the gaps” of another person.
Continuation is the tendency to organize stimuli into continuous lines or patterns. Selective Perception is much like continuation. Selective perception is the continuing to justify ones own values, beliefs, etc.
Simplicity is the tendency to reduce stimuli to their simplest shapes or patterns. The Actor-Observer Bias is a good example of simplicity. The observer in the actor-observer bias only sees the actual behavior of the actor. The observer only can assume things from the behavior and not the internal factors contributing to the actor’s behavior.

The term ‘analogy’ is very vague in nature, but when used in this context, we assume that the behavior of other people is in many ways analogous in reference to causes. These causes being behavior directed from sensation or thought. It is apparent and observable that people or beings other then I behave in ways in which we behave when placed in different situations. For example sadness or the nature of anger or happiness can be seen in others. Others then can and do react to different causes similar to the way in which I do as well. Another consideration is that of shared experience. Russell uses the example of two friends having a conversation in which memoirs are explored. These two individuals have shared experiences together. They eventually discover that each other’s memories aid each other in recalling information forgotten with time. (Russell 89)
To conclude, stereotyping is to generalizing common qualities, characters and etc. for a group. The favors of individuals diverse because of their culture, religion beliefs, education and experiences, so the stereotype is a good tool for expressing themselves and defining identities. Even though the stereotypes may lead others to get a valid knowledge of you, it will make things worse if you do not want others know about you, or you will be cheated if others feign another stereotype. The stereotypes may be harmful when abused.
William Shakespeare wrote the play Romeo and Juliet about two “star-crossed lovers” who take their own lives in order to be together. What could have possibly cause this other than the fact that they were in love? Human errors, that’s what. Firstly, Romeo and Juliet were from two separate households, and all they did was cause trouble between them. The families’ discrepancies were a major human error which led to the deaths. The second reason is that the two characters were not in love, and that they tricked each other into thinking they were. Eventually, the poor timing of many characters proves that the deaths were induced by human error. If the Friar and Nurse hadn’t been so incapable of keeping things in good timing, the lovers may still be alive.
A few of the forms are Intentional blindness, Change blindness, and focalism and the focusing illusion. Intentional blindness is our inability to notice certain obvious things about a situation. When we are told to
Many of us take our vision for granted. We seem to accurately use our properties of vision with little effort or thinking at all. At times we often see things with our eyes and wonder how can this be possible?
According to Dictionary.com, stereotyping is the process of categorizing and making assumptions about members of a particular group, solely because off their membership in that group. Throughout generations stereotyping has kept its same meaning and purpose. There are various reasons why people stereotype, it can also be perceived differently according to different sections of society.
It also may lead to stereotyping, prejudice and ethnocentrism towards the out-group (Lecture). Social-comparison is comparing our group behaviours and opinions with those of other groups in a attempt to establish correct and socially accepted ways of thinking and behaving (Text). The social-comparison component allows for greater value to be placed on the in-group, similarly behaving in the exact opposite to the out-group is comparing. The contrast of a shared self-defining properties are the features that define the group, that define the group and mutual to group members (Lecture). Group members who classify with a group, therefore align their own attitudes and behaviours with individuals of other in-group members (Nickerson). The values, attitudes and intentions are shared by group members and are self-defining properties, when the in-groups value, definition or very existence is under threat hostility to outgroup starts (Hogg). The social identity approach allows a strong prediction that citizens will be negative towards asylum seekers
At first I thought this was a hoax, then I asked a friend what color she thought it was without telling her the story behind it. She saw the same color as I did, which is royal blue and black. Another friend came up with the same conclusion, but added that given the back-ground colors are white and gold, he could see how some people’s eyes could go the those colors, because at first you really don’t know what you are looking at, or at least he did not.
Stereotyping, or grouping all members of a culture, whether positive or negative or true or false, reduces them to their perceived traits and does not emphasize individuality.

The point of this lab is to learn about systematic errors, which occurs when a mistake happens when setting up an experiment. When a systematic error occurs the accuracy of the experiment is thrown off. The point of the experiment was to figure out the relationship between precision and accuracy.

Similarity refers to partition the image into different-different region based on predefined criteria such as Thresholding , region merging, region growing and region splitting etc.
