BOTTOM-UP AND TOP-DOWN PROCESSES IN LEARNING
Commentary on Jarvilehto on Efference-Knowledge

Abstract

The physiological processes of afferent transmission of receptor activities to the central nervous system and of efferent influences from the central nervous system on receptors correspond roughly to the notion of bottom-up and top-down processing in cognitive and AI models. I will discuss the role of bottom-up and top-down processes in approaches to knowledge acquisition and (machine) learning and their relation to theory and findings in physiology.
