The fact that you didn't see the teddy bear is probably due to: your schema that puppies are destructive.

Explanation:

Psychologist use the term schema to describes a pattern of thought or behavior that classifies the information and expresses the relationships among them. Schemas allow us to take shortcuts in understanding the huge amount of information available in the environment.

In the above scenario, when I returned home from work I noticed some broken glass pieces on the floor. I thought that it would be my new puppy. I didn't notice my kid's teddy bear on the floor. My schema made me to think that puppies are destructive.
