Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual expectancy is a hypothesis or expectation that we have about a stimulus based on past experiences or context, which may not always be appropriate or accurate. This can influence our perception and interpretation of the stimulus. Dishabituation refers to the recovery of a response to a habituated stimulus, reality test refers to assessing whether our perceptions and beliefs match objective reality, and extrasensory perception refers to the supposed ability to perceive information without the use of the senses, which is not considered a valid psychological concept.
