Hello this question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"As Maria and her little brother looked up at the clouds, he exclaimed, "That one looks like a giant dinosaur!" Maria thought it looked more like a giant duck. Which of the following concepts best explains their different interpretations of the same ambiguous stimuli?

shape constancy, context effects, perceptual set, selective attention, difference thresholds"

Answer:

perceptual set

Explanation:

Perceptual set is the term used to describe the situation where an individual focuses his senses on a single sensory data set and ignores all others. In this case, the individual has a different perception of things from the people around him who are considering all the sensory data. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Mary and her brother are watching the clouds, while Mary's brother thinks the cloud looks like a giant dinosaur, Maria has a different perception and believes that the cloud looked more like a giant duck ...

The perceptual set has a number of characteristics: it is a complex process, encompassing all sense organs, it implies the whole person (cognitive, physiological capacities and experiences), it means categorizing information and organizing it into perceptual schemes, it is a active process is an adaptive process that involves the construction of meanings.
