Study Notes

Sensory Processing

  • Top-down processing uses previous knowledge to interpret sensory stimuli.

Chapter 2 Focus

  • Chapter 2 focuses on the interplay between bottom-up and top-down processing in perception.

Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down Processing

  • Bottom-up processing is data-driven; it starts with sensory input and builds up to perception.
  • Top-down processing is conceptually-driven; it uses prior knowledge and expectations to interpret sensory input.

Overactive Top-Down Processing Example

  • An example of overactive top-down processing is misinterpreting a blurry image based on pre-existing expectations, rather than relying on the raw sensory data.

Neuroscience Research Focus

  • Neuroscience research in the text focuses on how the brain integrates sensory information using both bottom-up and top-down processing mechanisms.
