question 8 of 10
imagine that you see a pile of mechanical parts and start putting them
together. when youre done, you realize the parts make a clock. what is this
an example of?

a. sensory input

b. bottom - up processing

c. gestalt principles of organization

d. top - down processing

Explanation:

Bottom - up processing involves building a perception from individual sensory elements (here, mechanical parts) to a whole (the clock). Sensory input is just raw data, Gestalt principles focus on organizing visual elements into wholes in perception (not assembly), and top - down uses prior knowledge to interpret, which isn't the case here as we start with parts and build to the whole.

Answer:

B. Bottom - up processing
