The correct answers are:

  • Relying on first impressions.
  • Stereotyping.

Explanation:

  1. Relying on first impressions: This is a common error in perception because initial impressions can be misleading and are often based on limited information. People tend to form quick judgments about others, which can lead to inaccurate perceptions.

  2. Relying on sensory data: This is not typically considered an error in perception. Sensory data is the information we receive through our senses, and while it can sometimes be misinterpreted, relying on sensory data itself is not inherently an error.

  3. Stereotyping: This is a significant error in perception. Stereotyping involves making generalized assumptions about individuals based on their membership in a particular group, which can lead to biased and inaccurate perceptions.

  4. Selective exposure: This refers to the tendency to favor information that reinforces pre-existing views while avoiding contradictory information. While it can lead to biased perceptions, it is more related to information processing and decision-making rather than a direct error in perception itself.
