Question

destiny visits an aquarium and pets a sea creature called a stingray for the first time. she is surprised at the way the animal’s skin feels. this is an example of what type of processing?
○ mutually helpful
○ mutually exclusive
○ bottom - up
○ top - down

Explanation:

Bottom-up processing involves using raw sensory input (like the new tactile sensation of the stingray's skin) to build a perception, which matches Destiny's first-time, unanticipated experience of the creature's texture. Top-down processing uses pre-existing knowledge, while the "mutually" options do not describe perceptual processing types.

Answer:

bottom-up
