Color-Blindness
There are cones in the retina of the eye that respond to a specific range of light wavelengths. When some or all of a person's cones do not function properly, he/she is said to be color-bind or color-deficient. This is hereditary and affects 7% of males and .4% of females.

Imperfect Senses
Context Clues: Our brains use context to determine meaning. This means that we compare what we see (or hear, smell, etc.) to the surrounding environment and our past experiences.
How can this lead us to misinterpretation?
Our brains compare objects in the environment to determine size. (as in the picture)

Top-Down Processing Example

The first time you touched fire, a signal was sent from the environment to your brain, and you pulled your hand away, this is bottom-up processing.
