Editing Selective perception (section)

==Definition==
Selective perception may refer to any number of [[cognitive bias]]es in [[psychology]] related to the way expectations affect [[perception]]. Human judgment and decision making is distorted by an array of cognitive, perceptual and motivational biases, and people tend not to recognise their own bias, though they tend to easily recognise (and even overestimate) the operation of bias in human judgment by others.<ref>Emily Pronin, "[http://web.missouri.edu/~segerti/capstone/Biasinjudgement.pdf Perception and misperception of bias in human judgment] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722193954/http://web.missouri.edu/~segerti/capstone/Biasinjudgement.pdf |date=2012-07-22 }}," ''Trends in Cognitive Sciences,'' Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2007, pp. 37–43.</ref> One of the reasons this might occur might be because people are simply bombarded with too much stimuli every day to pay equal attention to everything, therefore, they pick and choose according to their own needs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lilt.ilstu.edu/rrpope/rrpopepwd/articles/perception3.html |title=Articles: Selective perception |website=lilt.ilstu.edu |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100522194645/http://lilt.ilstu.edu/rrpope/rrpopepwd/articles/perception3.html |archive-date=22 May 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
