Bottom-up processing refers to the perception of objects based solely on their physical characteristics, such as their shape, color, texture, and other attributes. In this case, Indiana is using his sensory input (visual and auditory) to determine that the object he sees and hears is a snake, without relying on any prior knowledge or expectations (which would be top-down processing).
