4. Selection: is not only conscious, is more an awareness process by which our senses of sight, smell, hearing, feeling, and taste play an important role to filter information or select it to our awareness.

5. Sorting: is a process of organizing the information that we have become aware of, this organization is based on experiences and may not be share by others.

Selective Perception: takes place when we narrow available cognitions to make interpretations. Patterning: is the attempt to keep new perceptions in line with past ones.
