SHORT ANSWER:  When gоing thrоugh the steps оf the perception, the humаn brаin wаnts to operate quickly and with efficiency.  E.T. Hall discusses this as an urge to avoid “Information Overload”.   Neuliep, your textbook author, addresses the same concept when he describes the effects of “Mental Economy”.   I recently encountered similar perspectives during a webinar when the presenter referenced a human need to put things into categories.   They are all addressing the same phenomenon. Although this way of using the brain with hyper-efficiency may start out as a useful, economical function, there can be negative, unexpected consequences--especially in Intercultural Communication contexts.   What is one(1) such example of a negative impact due to this human tendency toward perceptual shortcuts?  Be specific and give a concrete example.
