Answer 1

The correct answer is bottom-up processing

Top-down and bottom-up are the two strategies of information processing and knowledge ordering, used in a variety of fields, including software, humanistic and scientific theories (see systemics), and management and organization. In practice, they can be seen as a style of thinking, teaching or leadership.

In bottom-up processing, there is no preconceived idea about the stimulus received.
