Observation skills: what’s out there?
What we first see from a glance can be quite different from what we discover when we actually see.
We look for what is familiar, and if we can’t find the familiar, we can even distort the unfamiliar to make it seem familiar
Observation is a process of sensing, perceiving, and thinking
Sensing occurs through sense organs such as the eyes and skin
The word perceiving is often used loosely as a synonym for sensing.
Thinking is explained in terms of what people do with their perceptions
Our experiencing can teach us that we have a far greater capacity to discover than we knew.
