  • A.Information processing approach
  • B.Bottom-up processing approach
  • C.Top-down processing approach
  • D.Hierarchical processing approach

Answer: C

The role of expectancies, learning, past experience and culture in shaping perception is explained by the top-down processing approach. Perception here is driven by knowledge and expectation in the perceiver, which guides interpretation of incoming sensory data.

Bottom-up processing starts from the stimulus features and builds up. The information processing approach is a general framework, and hierarchical processing refers to successive levels of analysis, so neither names the influence of expectation and experience.
