Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottom-up processing is driven by the physical features of a stimulus, such as the light or sound waves that are detected by the sensory organs. It involves analyzing the sensory information and building up a representation of the stimulus from simple components to more complex features. The process starts with the information received by the senses and is then processed in a step-by-step fashion to form a perception. So, option B is the correct choice as it mentions that bottom-up processing is controlled by the physical message delivered to the senses.
