Influence of Perceptual Set on Interpretation

The phenomenon of perceptual set plays a critical role in how we perceive stimuli based on expectations, previous experiences, and context. Consider the following scenario: A participant in a psychological study is shown a series of ambiguous images that can be interpreted in multiple ways, such as a vase or two faces. After viewing several images, the participant's perception is influenced by suggestions made earlier in the study. Which of the following concepts best explains the impact of prior exposure and expectations on the participant's interpretation of the ambiguous images?
