You meet a new person for the first time. Based on past experience when meeting new people you believe around 70% of people are friendly, while around 30% are unfriendly. During your conversation with the new person, they smile, say kind words and are fully engaged in the conversation (behaviours associated with friendliness). After talking to this person, you update your beliefs about their friendliness. This process is referred to as:

Hyde went on a hike where he observed various objects and shared his experience. He explained how he initially thought an object on the ground was a thin pipe; it turned out to be a real snake. He initially perceived that it was a pipe because of his past experiences working in a facilities department; however, looking at the context, in a natural setting, a snake seemed more probable. Hyde’s experience demonstrates how arriving at a perception can involve a process. Based on this situation, select the statement that BEST represents the situation:
