Chapter 3
Refer to the research study described on pages 70 - 71 of your textbook to answer the following question.
From this study, is there evidence of bottom-up and/or top-down processing in scene categorization? Explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Both seem to contribute. The conclusion summary in the text says that we use “more than just gist information to interpret scenes”, meaning that both bottom-up and top-town processing contribute to the scene processing done in the task. For the basic categorization task, fewer details were needed than for the subordinate task, but subjects focused mostly on objects in both tasks in order to interpret the scenes showing that those details were important in both tasks (just fewer of them needed for the more specific task).
