Bottom-up processing

Bottom-up processing is a way our brain understands information by starting with basic details and building up to a bigger picture. For example, when you see a painting, you first notice individual colors, shapes, and textures (the details). Your brain then combines these elements to recognize the overall scene or subject. In general knowledge, this means learning facts and details first, which helps form a deeper understanding of broader concepts over time. It emphasizes learning from the ground up, ensuring a solid foundation before grasping more complex ideas.
