Parallel processing: In parallel
processing, several objects can be processed during visual
search.This is unconscious processing in nature.The visual
processing is based on the combined effect of color,motion,depth
and form.
Serial Processing: Here, single
object is processed and is consciously done.This can be sequential
and stage wise depicted.
The main difference is the
unconscious and conscious perspective,sequential and collective
information.
Neurons follow parallel processing
in the beginning of process, however tend to go with serial
processing.
