{"pk":27163,"title":"Experimental Investigation on Top-down and Bottom-up Processing\nin Graph Comprehension and Decision","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Graph comprehension requires both bottom-up processing\nfrom the graph representation and top-down processing guided\nby knowledge and attitude. In the current study, we\ninvestigated which of the bottom-up process phases: extraction,\ninterpretation, and decision: were affected by the top-down\nprocessing derived by the impressions and social attitudes. The\nexperimental results showed that the top-down processing\ndriven by impressions temporarily formed in specific contexts\naffected both the extraction of information and the following\ndecision phase whereas top-down processing driven by attitude\nformed over a long time based on social norms affected only\nthe decision phase. In the latter case, a decision was made\nwithout any need for bottom-up processing.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"graph representation"},{"word":"Decision"},{"word":"bottom-up\nprocessing"},{"word":"top-down processing"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0s89p77n","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Misa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fukuoka","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Kazuhisa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Miwa","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""},{"first_name":"Akihiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Maehigashi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Nagoya University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27163/galley/16799/download/"}]}
