Given this neurobiological setup, and the diversity of behavioral phenomena associated with multimodal stimuli, it is likely that the investigation of multimodal perception will continue to be a topic of interest in the field of experimental perception for many years to come.

The failure to notice a fully visible object when attention is devoted to something else. The ability to select certain stimuli in the environment to process, while ignoring distracting information. A task in which the individual is asked to repeat an auditory message as it is presented. The ability to process information for meaning when the individual is not consciously aware of that information.

When a weapon is present during a crime, it can capture the witness's attention, thus impairing their ability to recall other details of the event. Research, including a meta-analysis by Nancy Steblay, indicates a decrease in identification accuracy by approximately 10% when a weapon is present. In brief interactions, this effect is significant.

This understanding is vital as attention deficits affect educational and workplace performance, making it a key topic in psychology. Historically, philosophers like Joan Luis Vives and William James laid foundational thoughts on attention, which later evolved into scientific inquiry with experimental methods.

By creating perceptual illusions, scientists explore how the brain interprets sensory information. These illusions, often used by artists to depict depth, demonstrate our ability to judge context rather than absolute qualities.

Key points include the influence of salience on selection and the importance of visual and aural stimuli, needs, interests, and expectations. Information organization relies on patterns of proximity, similarity, and difference, while interpretation uses schemata based on past experiences and knowledge.

In other words, it is the way you interpret data around you. The data could come from sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. For example, if you wake up in the morning to the smell of coffee, your perception is likely correct that your roommate is already awake. The challenge with perception in human relations is that we may not always understand someone else’s perception.
