Question

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

a. Perception: top-down processing

Step-by-step explanation:

Top-down processing is a situation when we have our perception with a larger idea before working our way toward more detailed information about it. In case of Bob of the man approaching whom I assume to be Bob, the scenario could be explained as a top-down processing due to the fact that, I assumed him to be Bob because of some of his broad features but became otherwise, when detailed information about the man became clearer to me.
