Attunement(as used in perception theory): The process of adjusting or tuning yourself to pick up on patterns and information in your environment, like how a musician tunes an instrument to the right frequency.
Core commitments(as used in philosophy of theory): The main central ideas or principles that a theory is built on and relies on to be true.
Gibson (James J. Gibson)(as a historical figure in perception theory): An influential psychologist who argued that we perceive the world directly through our senses picking up on real patterns and properties, rather than our brain constructing what we see from raw data.
Illusions(in perception and epistemology): Experiences where your senses trick you into perceiving something that isn't actually there or is different from reality—like seeing a mirage in the desert or a magic trick.
