Document Summary
What problem do these words pose for bottom-up models of perception: the words on the left say they bake. The h in the work they are supposed the same letter for the a in the word bake. The a and the h are the same symbols but, yet they are different. The second character of both words is identical but are perceived differently. Describe in as much detail as possible: top down processes refer to how our brains make use of information that has already been brought into the brain by one or more of the sensory systems. Top-down ( theory- driven or conceptually driven ) processing, the perceiver"s expectations, theories or concepts guide the selection and combination of the information in the pattern- recognition process. How does it related to models of perception covered in the last class: late-selection theory because it"s a system that determines which of the incoming information is important.
