Question

1. if youve never seen sushi before and must analyze its look, smell, and taste carefully, which process are you using? a) top - down b) bottom - up c) perceptual set d) figure - ground. in reading, bottom - up processing would focus on: a) the context of the sentence b) individual letters and sounds c) our expectations of the story d) predicting what comes next. in reading, top - down processing would focus on: a) letter - by - letter decoding b) assessing words from prior knowledge c) sensory detection of ink patterns d) phonemic awareness only. if you expect to hear your name in a crowd and think you hear it even if it wasnt said, thats: a) bottom - up b) top - down c) sensory overload d) figure - ground. which type of processing is most prone to illusions? 16. which process explains how we interpret ambiguous shapes in the as familiar objects? a) bottom - up b) top - down c) sensation only d) memory recall 17. if a child sees fire for the first time and learns its hot through direct contact, this is: a) bottom - up b) top - down c) perceptual set d) figure - ground 18. which situation demonstrates both bottom - up and top - down together? a) tasting a familiar food b) reading handwriting using letter shapes and sentence meaning c) smelling an unfamiliar scent d) hearing a new sound without context 19. why is top - down processing helpful? a) it eliminates the need for perception b) it makes familiar tasks quicker and more efficient c) it prevents all perceptual errors d) it doesnt rely on memory 20. which statement best compares the two? a) bottom - up = data - driven; top - down = knowledge - driven

Explanation:

1. When analyzing the look, smell, and taste of sushi for the first - time, one is using bottom - up processing which starts from the individual sensory elements.
2. Top - down processing uses prior knowledge to interpret ambiguous shapes as familiar objects.
3. A child learning about fire being hot through direct contact is bottom - up learning as it starts from sensory experience.
4. Reading handwriting using letter shapes (bottom - up) and sentence meaning (top - down) demonstrates both processes together.
5. Top - down processing makes familiar tasks quicker and more efficient by using prior knowledge.
6. Bottom - up is data - driven (starting from sensory data) and top - down is knowledge - driven (using prior knowledge).

Answer:

1. b) Bottom - up
2. b) Top - down
3. a) Bottom - up
4. b) Reading handwriting using letter shapes and sentence meaning
5. b) It makes familiar tasks quicker and more efficient
6. a) Bottom - up = data - driven; Top - down = knowledge - driven
