Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottom-up processing refers to the flow of information from sensory receptors to the brain, with the brain constructing perceptions from this raw sensory data. Choice A and D are not accurate terms for this type of processing, and top-down processing refers to the brain using prior knowledge and higher-level cognitive processes to interpret sensory input, which is not the same as the flow of sensory data from receptors to the brain.
