Influence of Experience on Perception

Perceptual interpretation is influenced by various factors, including context, prior knowledge, and cultural background. Consider a situation where an individual views an ambiguous image, such as a figure that can be interpreted either as a rabbit or a duck. The perception of this image can be significantly affected by the individual's past experiences and the context in which the image is presented.
