Answer:
The best answer to the question: What kind of processing is exemplified by the following scenario, would be, A: Bottom-up.
Explanation:
Human capacity to process information, provided to it by the different senses, environment, experiences, and learning, is pretty complex, and yet at the same time, simple. In this case, we have Esther, who comes in contact with something that has been unknown to her: the dish of raisin-jalapeno quiche that her mother has been working on. Although she has never been in contact with this, and therefore cannot know for sure if it is good, or bad, her senses come in contact with the object and rely the information to her brain, evoking a response as the information is integrated in her mind. The way in which she acquires the knowledge, and gives a response is a very instinctual one: her eyes see the contents on the skillet and rely their perception of the food, and then her sense of smell also conveys information to the brain. Esther´s brain appraises the dish from the bottom (the perception of the individual parts of the dish, instead of trying the dish before reacting to it) using her senses, and then forms the response, which is to reject the dish. This is an example of bottom-up processing.
