Perceptual confirmation refers to the tendency to notice and remember information that confirms our pre-existing beliefs and stereotypes. In this case, the example of perceptual confirmation would be taking particular notice of a Latino who is a good dancer, as it reinforces the stereotype that Latinos are good dancers.
