Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottom-up processing involves processing information based on the sensory input we receive, without relying on prior knowledge or expectations. In this case, putting together a jigsaw puzzle piece by piece without knowing the final picture would require relying on the sensory information provided by each individual puzzle piece, and using that information to gradually build up a more complete understanding of the overall image.
