More efficient to process larger shapes not peripheral images. Most widely used way of learning from a psychologist. A modular theory-useful for development of artificial intelligence. Incoming information- sensory information (first part of module)-5 arrows for 5 senses, registering all five at the same time. Receptors in the skin to detect all four kinds of somatosensory sensations have separate receptors, being filtered out. 4. gives us sense of taste -sweet, salt. Theory comes in modules which is evidence to suggest this module is correct. All five sensory inputs are being registered at the same time.
