magical thinking
#5
RE: magical thinking
I think drive and perception are completely separate. For example, the person hiking across the antarctic snow caps and is short on supplies. His circumstances might reduce his goal to survival, but the will to live was still present before such circumstances forced him to meet those needs.
What you're talking about with noticing such things happens through significance. Such as after purchasing a car and noticing the same car you've purchased everywhere, termed perceptual accentuation and it means tuning in to specific stimulus which is in favour of supporting previous ideas, decisions, experience, also tuning out those stimuli which are not in agreement with such.
