11. What is the difference between bottom up and top down processing define and example

Answer 1

Harlow’s experiments on rhesus monkeys manifested the importance of caregiving and companionship to social and cognitive development. Moreover, it was found that the establishment of bond between the infant and his or her mother is not purely dependent on the satisfaction of one’s physiological needs (warmth, safety, food) , but also emotional (acceptance, love, affection). These needs however, occupy the base of Maslow’s hierarchy. In Maslow’s model, physiological and social needs are relatively lower level needs that are preceded by achievement and self-actualisation needs.
