Imperfect Perception: Illusions, Gestalt Principles of Grouping, and Language Relativism

We learned about sensation and perception in the biopsychology series. But there is a lot more to talk about in the context of psychology, in terms of imperfect perception. Do we always see things the way they really are? Can our minds play tricks on us? How do we perceive groups of objects? How does language affect our perceptions? Some of this stuff might blow your mind!
