The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in town. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him.

By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 41.
