The video explains: 1. Perception involves selecting, organizing, and interpreting information, impacting how we respond to stimuli in communication. 2. The perception process has three stages: selection (choosing stimuli to focus on), organization (categorizing stimuli based on principles like figure-ground, proximity, similarity, and closure), and interpretation (assigning meaning using mental structures called schemata). 3. Schemata are mental models in long-term memory that help us understand the world. There are various types of schemata, such as person schemas, social schemas, self-schemas, and event schemas. 4. Schemata can lead to stereotyping if not adapted to individual differences, but competent communicators update and adapt their schemata with new experiences
