perception.
b. The steps are unidirectional, starting at the environmental stimulus and ending at
knowledge.
c. The steps are unidirectional, starting at transduction and ending at recognition.
d. The sequence of steps is dynamic and constantly changing.

figure, the person will most likely report seeing
a. a rat, because of the effect of knowledge.
