Alexandra Horowitz Quotes

Part Of What Restricts Us Seeing Things Is That We Have An Expectation About What We Will See, And We Are Actually Perceptually Restricted By That Expectation. In A Sense, Expectation Is The Lost Cousin Of Attention: Both Serve To Reduce What We Need To Process Of The World "out There". Attention Is The More Charismatic Member, Packaged And Sold More Effectively, But Expectation Is Also A Crucial Part Of What We See. Together They Allow Us To Be Functional, Reducing The Sensory Chaos Of The World Into Unbothersome And Understandable Units.
