Nägemismuljeteks

Nägemismuljeteks is a term used in the field of psychology and cognitive science to describe the phenomenon where a person's perception of reality is influenced by their expectations or beliefs. This concept is closely related to the idea of confirmation bias, where individuals tend to interpret information in a way that confirms their pre-existing beliefs or expectations. Nägemismuljeteks can occur in various contexts, such as when people interpret ambiguous information in a way that supports their beliefs, or when they selectively attend to information that aligns with their expectations while ignoring contradictory evidence.

The term "nägemismuljeteks" is derived from the Estonian words "nägemis" (vision) and "muljeteks" (expectation), reflecting the idea that our vision or perception is shaped by our expectations. This phenomenon is not limited to human perception but can also be observed in other animals, where their behavior is influenced by their expectations about the environment.

Research on nägemismuljeteks has implications for various fields, including education, where it can help explain why students may misinterpret information presented in a way that supports their existing knowledge or misconceptions. In the realm of decision-making, understanding nägemismuljeteks can help individuals recognize and mitigate the biases that may influence their choices. Additionally, this concept is relevant in the study of perception and cognition, as it highlights the active role that expectations play in shaping our experiences of the world.
