constructive perception

Constructive perception refers to the way our brain actively interprets sensory information by filling in gaps and organizing what we sense into meaningful patterns. It involves using past experiences, knowledge, and context to make sense of incomplete or ambiguous data from our surroundings. Instead of passively receiving information, our perception constructively shapes how we see and understand the world, allowing us to quickly recognize objects, faces, and scenes even when sensory input is partial or unclear. This process helps us navigate complex environments efficiently and accurately.
