    • What do we use to perceive according to the bottom-up theory?
      Information received through our senses
    • What does it mean that perception is innate in the bottom-up theory?
      We are born with the ability to perceive
    • What types of sensory information are important in the bottom-up theory?
      Textures and color gradients
