Persepsi : Proses terjadinya persepsi dalam komunikasi

Summary

The video script delves into the concept of perception in communication, explaining how it is formed through a series of cognitive processes. It discusses 'delegation' where the brain selects important information to retain and discards the rest, 'distortion' where meanings are altered and associated with unrelated events, and 'generalization' where experiences are simplified to fit past patterns. The script aims to enhance understanding of how external communication is internalized as perception, encouraging viewers to become wiser and more effective communicators.

Takeaways

• 😀 Perception is a common topic nowadays and is generally accepted in society.
• 🔍 Perception is formed through a process that includes sensory input, selection, and interpretation.
• 🧠 The 'delegation' process filters incoming information, prioritizing what is deemed important and discarding the rest.
• 🤔 'Delegation' can lead to selective memory, where we might forget details that our brain deems unimportant.
• 🔄 'Distortion' is the alteration of the true meaning of information, often linking it to unrelated events or interpretations.
• 😕 'Generalization' is the process where specific events are perceived as part of a continuous pattern, even if they are isolated incidents.
• 📚 These processes are essential for learning and understanding new languages or concepts, as they help our brain to quickly assimilate information.
• 🤓 However, in certain contexts, these processes can be ineffective, leading to misunderstandings or misinterpretations.
• 🌐 The communication we receive is not directly transformed into our perception but is modified and connected with our past experiences.
• 🔍 The script emphasizes that the process of perception involves more than just these three steps and can vary in order and complexity.
• 🙏 The speaker apologizes for any mistakes in the script and invites the audience to join them in the next video for further exploration of these concepts.

Q & A

What is perception in the context of communication?

Perception in the context of communication refers to the process by which information from the external world is received and interpreted by an individual's mind.

What are the three processes that occur when perception is formed within us?

The three processes that occur when perception is formed are delegation, distortion, and generalization.

What is delegation in the context of perception during communication?

Delegation is the process where the brain selects which incoming information is important and which is not, discarding what it deems unimportant.

Why might we forget certain parts of a conversation or explanation?

We might forget certain parts of a conversation due to the delegation process, where the brain automatically discards information it considers less important.

Can you provide an example of how delegation works in communication?

An example of delegation is when someone explains about a motorbike, mentioning both a sports model and an automatic model, but you only remember the automatic one because the brain deemed the sports model less important at that moment.

What is distortion in the context of perception?

Distortion is the process where the meaning of information is changed and associated with something else that may not necessarily be related.

Can you give an example of distortion in everyday life?

An example of distortion is when seeing a black cat crossing the road is associated with bad luck, even though there is no inherent connection between the two events.

What is generalization in the context of perception?

Generalization is the process where an event or experience is perceived as if it happens all the time or will continue to happen in the future, even if it may only be a one-time occurrence.

Why does generalization occur in our perception?

Generalization occurs because it helps our brain to simplify and make sense of the world, allowing us to learn and understand new things more efficiently.

How can generalization be both helpful and potentially misleading?

Generalization can be helpful in learning and understanding by simplifying complex information, but it can also be misleading if it causes us to make incorrect assumptions about events or situations.

What is the conclusion of the video script regarding the formation of perception?

The conclusion is that communication from the outside world does not directly become our perception; it goes through a process of being filtered, altered, and connected with other experiences before being generalized based on past experiences.

Are there more processes involved in the formation of perception besides the three mentioned?

Yes, there are more processes involved in the formation of perception, which will be discussed in subsequent videos.

Is the order of the processes—delegation, distortion, and generalization—always the same?

No, the order of these processes can vary; the explanation provided is a common way to describe them, but the actual process may differ.
