Gregory suggests that we use
past
experiences in order to interpret our surroundings.
When we perceive the world around us, it tends to be
incomplete
and ambiguous.
The brain uses
sensory
information to understand what our eyes are seeing.
When we make inferences, the brain uses
visual
cues
to help perceive distance, size, shape and depth of objects.
We use visual cues in a certain way, due to prior learning. This means that perception is
nurture.
