The idea that our past experiences lead us to see the world in a particular way that is difficult to change is called

perceptual constancy (Perceptual set theory)

Explanation:

Psychologists refer to perceptual constancy as that phenomena that happens as we form ideas when prior experiences make us see the world whether in the physical or space in a very particual way that with time becomes difficult to change. Indeed the expectations and interactions that we lived in the pas become strongly arrayed as we grow up , in the midst of changing circumstances there is a tendency for seein the world the way we were used to. First perceptual constancies are a theory developed for the perceptions of objects at a distance but they also apply to experiences through time.
