super helpful but the music is super annoying

[@rinaberman7686]

70% of KZbin videos in a nutshell :p

[@spiralect]

TOP DOWN PROCESSING i wasn't annoyed by it at all until i read this comment

[@abhineshprabhakaran6423]

SoooTrue

[@Ginarae8]

I wanted to watch your video- it seems great, BUT, I couldn't focus because the music is extremely distracting. Could you please re-post another version without music?

[@stareggleston2124]

thank you for creating this video. I am a doctoral student and music is fine. When you are focused on your study the last thing I worried about was the music. The information given in this video gave a brief and direct break down. Thank you

[@ikramhaissam3040]

Thank you it was well explained and really helpful Top-down : from the brain to the world Bottom-up: from the world to the brain

[@alexathompson6402]

oh my gosh thank you i have just been freaking out bc i cant comprehend bottom up processing bc it didnt make sense to me but i get it now, thank you

[@horschiday9449]

Oh thank you! This much more understandable than what my professor and textbook say! ouff...What a relief! Thanks a bunch!

[@JPRK88]

I really like that you did this video and the way you did it. It would be more awesome if the music weren't as loud as your voice, if that helps for next time (and if you haven't changed it already).

[@danitamoralesramos264]

I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology and I have to disagree with some of the initial comments that I saw. I was not at all distracted by the music. I thought it was relaxing and added to the brief learning experience. I watched this video in order to gain a better understanding of what top-down and bottom-up perception means and I was able to get from this video what I could not clearly get from multiple journal articles and our course textbook. Thank you. I am looking forward to watching other videos on different topics.

[@nikhiljaiswal2331]

+Danita Mixon Could not have agreed more. I loved the music. Was happy, light, and relaxing. but I can see how it could be distracting to others. I did like it though, personally!

[@ecurb10]

With all due respect, whether you're a 'doctoral student in clinical psychology', a rocket scientist or a cleaner (no offence to cleaners intended) has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are distracted by the music or not. I don't understand the relevance of including you're academic qualifications. Whether music or anything else is distracting or not is purely a subjective experience. Your comment suggests that this music SHOULDN'T be a distraction according to your knowledge of psychology. Hmmm.....

[@imabout2plotz]

@@ecurb10 Lmfao seriously! I am also a doctoral student in psychology (not kidding hahaha), but like what does that have to do with the music being distracting....? Unless I literally studied that and had relevant information to share.

[@qj2003fall]

@@ecurb10 Totally agree. Ridiculous

[@classicsonsarahsjukebox]

this is so clear and super easy to understand . Crystal clear . Thanks for this , it really helps with my work now !

[@segurojames]

Thanks for the simple explanation, my teacher confuses me but you really put this up in an easy-to-understand way

[@vernetta04]

This was great. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

[@lxlon4]

Thank you for the video - wish there was no music on it!

[@josephl6289]

cognition constructs perception and perception directs cognition

[@maysahazife1534]

lol the music didnt annoy me not one bit. thanks btw

[@honeysinghvi1185]

Perfect! But why was the background commentary so loud? I couldn't listen to the music at all.

[@shuammi]

the video was great, i dont know why people are so annoyed by the music , it was fine.

[@Sahgee]

This was a very helpful video!! Thank you for updating it :) PS i love the music and animations, some viewers are just being mean for no reason.

[@khiem111189]

Thank you so much for the very short and focused content!

[@cachecacheboris]

music too loud, cant understand everything

[@soysauce6210]

wow this is super easy to understand now that i have watched this

[@steve8846]

m8 i hope the music got quieter in your more recent videos lol. just a little background noise and there's too much conflicting information that i can't even process the words

[@bluecat6902]

So basically if we use top down processing on the mosquito analogy is that we know it is the sound of a mosquito because we have heard the sound and visually perceived the mosquito before?

[@andorsipos7101]

can you talk more quietly please i cant hear the music

[@jinazoleikhapoor7882]

This could have been a good video if that annoying music wasn`t there

[@calmb2814]

Thank you so much for that video. It hepled me a lot for my exams!

[@andreeamuresan6846]

I'm currently studying psychology and am already preparing for the first exam. However, I'm stuck on a question/topic and can't get any further. Maybe someone can help me please. "Which direction of information processing sets in when you start worrying about going to the restaurant before entering the restaurant. What role do higher-level knowledge structures play, what role do environmental stimuli play?" ... I think it all has to do with scheme and bottom-up/top-down, but I don't quite understand what it has to do with thinking before entering a place. I don't understand that at all. It's about 2 work colleagues meeting again after a long time in a course "social cognition" but both of them didn't have much to do with each other before and the woman suddenly finds him sympathetic and that's why the two meet in a restaurant (but the story has nothing to do with love).

[@sasham6960]

It’s top down processing.

[@harrisondalrymple6053]

My only issue with top-down processing is that, at least according to your example, is that we have already seen what we are trying to get to in the dark. We couldn't have a concept of the refrigerator we are trying to get to unless we already know what our house looks like and where our refrigerator resides in the house. A better example would be a blind person; since they have no visual data to interpret, their entire world would be conceptual. I could be wrong, but this is just what I gathered from the video :)

[@jinpin9835]

+Harrison Dalrymple They can still hear, feel, smell, and taste. That's still bottom up so your example would be worse. Actually, almost all examples can be translated as being top down or bottom up, imo, it's fucking stupid.

[@ecurb10]

But his point is that, in the particular situation described, you rely on memory from past experiences and from proprioception to make your way, rather than the senses. Hence "conceptual data housed within higher-order cognitive processes" influences behaviour. Originally of course you needed to record the data via your senses, but after that you rely on your memory.

[@j-z6871]

why would they put music with it i can barely hear them

[@RoMytheMusic]

Thank you!

[@markuslukas7147]

why should someone make the music so loud? we want just informations and no music

[@thuynguyenthi8006]

so touching for an excellent video

[@tchutchu6570]

can you at least lower the music in the background its hard to listen and understand thank you

[@SJ-jq2rt]

GUYS I AM CONFUSED PLS HELP ME I NEED SIMPLE DEFINETION

[@adolfolimoncapaceta2792]

Finally understood this!! Thanks a lot!

[@zahrakhuzama7494]

This video was so helpful and easy to understand.... Thankyou! Those who could not concentrate at all because of the music (like me lol) try keeping the volume low and use captions.. hope tht helps :)

[@BanjoGirl101]

Is the music intentional? I can't hear what you're saying so I have to listen harder lol

[@leenz8147]

Thank you very much.. I can finally understand the difference!

[@justinonyt]

So helpful. Thank You

[@deeshasoni9404]

please explain image descriptions also

[@ellaw4011]

Are botth approaches true or is that debated?

[@benjamimbarros4545]

really good video ! Thank you !

[@afsheen030]

thank you i finally understood... nice example.

[@03cobrah]

short and sweet thanks

[@aquamarine3699]

Great video! thank you!

[@dramit4635]

Fantastic video!

[@SailingMahina]

shame about the music being too loud and distracting

[@lolinatorfalky406]

great information but the music is unpleasant, listening on headphones, the music is louder than your voice... I think it would be much better without music (zero - you don't need it!)

[@aaronwamser3858]

The video is great but the music isn't it in my opinion. Kind of stresses me out, because it is relatively loud and much faster than the talking speed.

[@psychologicalknowledge9682]

Thank you ☺️ sir

[@viratvyshu6494]

Very helpful 🙂🙂🙂😁😁😁

[@sidexside1439]

Good text. But music too loud. I cannot hear your speaking well.

[@anushervonrakhmatov3802]

thanks author!

[@NgJackal1990]

It's nicer with examples rather than words =)

[@asc5164]

the music is so loud!

[@ankitchandrarakshit7847]

Please lower the music. It’s very difficult to process what you’re saying

[@michellefedyniak]

Wow super helpful :D !!!

[@JoshJay]

lose the music. It's distracting and overwhelming the spoken audio

[@CodeShow.]

helpful , thanks

[@emypage9753]

Thank U... ^_^ I now understand it very well! :D

[@jj_fu1743]

What am I taking…

[@brandipeterson7144]

Came here to also say the music is very distracting in the video.

[@daniel_1027]

Music is louder than the voice. Doctoral student or not..

Could’ve have been grate If the music wasn’t annoying 😏
