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.
