Study Notes
Processing Theories
- Bottom-Up Processing: perception begins with individual sensory stimuli analysis, building up to complete perception; data-driven, starting from basic features
- Recognizing a face through Bottom-Up Processing: first processing individual features like eyes, nose, and mouth
- Top-Down Processing: uses pre-existing knowledge and expectations to interpret sensory information; concept-driven, influenced by prior knowledge and context
- Example of Top-Down Processing: reading a sentence where context influences interpretation of ambiguous words
- Key difference: Bottom-Up Processing is driven by data, while Top-Down Processing is driven by concepts and prior knowledge
