Stereotypes can influence the way we think about a specific group of people. This is especially common in racial and ethnic grou
p, but it is not reserved specifically for those groups. Stereotypes can also apply to school groups, cliques, and neighborhoods. A stereotype is similar to which of the following terms: A)feature detectors
B)texture gradient
C)perceptual set
D)stereogram
E)relative clarity
Feature detectors sort outside stimuli into separate "filing boxes" in your brain, as well as any experiences related to it. Attacked by a dog? that goes in the dog "Box." This is very much like the stereotypes we see in everyday life.
Hope this helps you or anyone that might need help!
