Consider the following scenario: Mary and her boyfriend are driving towards a restaurant for dinner. As they pull into the driveway, Mary looks up at the neon sign. Her boyfriend remarks that he cannot read the sign, because it is missing several letters. Mary takes one look and says "it's called Da Vinci's Pizza Kitchen". Mary's observation is an example of which of the following:
A) Bottom-up processing
B) Top-down processing
C) Principle of Simplicity
D) Principle of Proximity

B. Top-down processing

Explanation: Top-down processing refers to a cognitive process where thoughts, perception,understanding or problem-solving skiing is based on what is how to him already. Top-down processing usually begins with application of one's general knowledge or thought to a problem or scenario, then the application of other closely related thought or pattern to the problem. Top-down processing involves working with the larger or general information first before focusing on subject-specific or finer information or detail. It involves starting with the least subject specific or general rule to the most subject specific. Mary was able to glance and conclude that it's DaVinci's Pizza kitchen from her more general knowlege.
