Process of selecting, organizing and interpreting sensory information into meaningful patterns
|
|
Bottom-Up Processing
|
Having a lot of data and having to construct one point from it like a Staples associate trying to build a chair with 10 screws and a board. Also known as data driven processing. Parts->whole
|
|
Top-Down Processing
|
With higher-level cognitive processes, perception works down to the sensory level, like the Staples associate with the picture of the chair you're trying to build. Also known as conceptually-driven processing. whole-> parts
