individual differences across species > individual differences in perception

Preferred term

individual differences in perception  

Definition(s)

  • Our individual views of the universe may be different from one another's because we each encounter only one small part of what is there. The ancient Hindu parable of the six blind men and the elephant—wherein each man describes only the part of the elephant he is touching, forming an incomplete representation of the whole—is an illustration of such individual differences.
