Guess: Theory of Perception is how we perceive (e.g. see, hear, feel, etc.) our environment. One example would be the theory that we already have stereotypes in our heads, and we "bend" the truth so it supports these ideas; by denying information that would refute the stereotype (subconsciously) and choosing to link/compare the data to the stereotype (consciously).
Theories:
- Direct realism: Perception is reality, directly detected through sensory organs
- Perceptual Relativity: Organisms perceive things differently.
- Variation in Self: People like/dislike different things.
- Indirect realism: Our perception/brain tricks us (e.g. to what it thinks we see)
- Real World
- Mind-independent Objects
- Mediating through Senses: Senses interpret the reality.
- Artificial Stimulus of Brain Produces 'Real' Sensation
- Effects Indistinguishable from Reality: e.g. "imagine biting into a lemon"
- Veil of Perception: Perception blocks out and/or changes information in the unconscious.
- Idealism: Nothing is knowable beyond perceptions.
- "To be is to be perceived or to perceive"
- Nothing is real, we imagine everything
- God causes all perception
