Top-down & Bottom-up
Perception Processing Our brains are constantly working to make sense of the world around us. How we perceive and interpret information provides a platform for better understanding of our environment and stimuli we encounter (Feldman, 2013).
The most fundamental process of perception proposed in the early 1900s, by a group of German psychologist that studied patterns (Feldman, 2013).. These psychologists conceived significant amount of vital concepts that are well founded for primarily visual, but can include auditory stimuli as well (Feldman, 2013). These findings brought about the gestalt laws of organization; a sequence of concepts illustrating the process of systematically arranging bits and pieces of information and translating it into unified relevant wholes (Feldman, 2013).
The gestalt laws of organization include the law of closure; to fill gaps in perceive an asymmetric stimuli as symmetric, the law of common faith; components of a perceptual field that, move and function in the same way will be perceived as a unit …show more content…
The top-down perception process consists of perception that is guided by a higher level of education, experiences, expectations, and motivations (Feldman, 2013). The bottom up perception process is the process of perception recognizing individual components of a stimulus and processing it into a whole (Feldman, 2013). The top-down perception process cannot occur on its own. The bottom-up process allows for an understanding of stimuli from the perception of the top-down process that leads by a higher level of knowledge, experience, expectation, and motivations(Feldman, 2013). The top-down and bottom-up perception processes must take place at the same time in order for the rain to decipher information from the senses and enable a person to produce the correct reaction to stimuli and the environment(Feldman,
