Preferred term

nonveridical perception  

Definition

  • A person's entire life experience—everyone, everything, every experience he or she has ever known—exists to that person only as a function of his or her brain's activity. As such, it does not necessarily reproduce the physical reality of the world with high fidelity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Nonveridical Perception]
