How can two people see the same event and make completely opposite judgments about it? Do you think we see the world in much the same way as a camera?

This video contends that we don't simply record what we see, we create it by the act of perception. 

Discover how a frame can completely change the meaning of what it contains -- whether that frame be a marriage or a work of art. Learn how we tend to fill-in-the-blanks to create a complete picture when pieces are missing. 

LEARN: 

  • Why our need to group objects together creates problems from prejudice to war. 
  • How we make value judgements based on mis-perception. 
  • How putting a "frame" around a thing or event can completely change its meaning. 
  • How our sensory system is also a censoring system. 
  • Why we see what we believe instead of believing what we see. 
  • How the "rule of proximity" influences decisions.
