Definition. Listening comprehension encompasses the multiple processes

involved in understanding and making sense of spoken language. These include
recognizing speech sounds, understanding the meaning of individual words, and/or
understanding the syntax of sentences in which they are presented.

Top-Down Processing
Throughout the day, each of us is exposed to a potentially limitless number of sensory experiences. Just
stop wherever you are right now and take a moment to really attune your senses to the environment
around you. No matter where you are or what you're doing, there are multiple sights, sounds, smells,
textures, and (if you're eating) even tastes, all flooding your senses and subsequently your brain as we
speak. In psychology, these two separate systems are commonly thought of as sensation and perception.
Sensation involves bringing in information through the five senses, and perception is how our brains
make sense of that information.
Psychologists often refer to the way in which our sensation and perception systems work both separately
and together as processing. In general, when it comes to processing in the context of sensation and
perception, two types of processing are commonly described, namely bottom-up processing and topdown processing. Let's take a closer look at top-down processing.
Definition
If you look at a diagram of the central nervous system, you will notice that the brain is literally positioned
higher, or on top, of the sensory systems. Therefore, higher-level cognitive processes, such as thinking,
are considered to be at the top of the sensation and perception process. On the other hand, lower level
brain structures, such as those involved in the sensory systems of vision, touch, or hearing, are considered
to be at the bottom.
Top-down processing refers to how our brains make use of information that has already been brought into
the brain by one or more of the sensory systems. Top-down processing is a cognitive process that initiates
with our thoughts, which flow down to lower-level functions, such as the senses. This is in contrast to
bottom-up processing, which is the process of the senses providing information about the environment up
to the brain.
Examples
Let's look at a couple of everyday examples that will help you better understand the concept of top-down
processing.
If you ever sat around a fire roasting marshmallows as a kid, then you might remember the first time you
learned about the power of fire. No doubt at some point, curiosity got the best of you, and you got a little
too close. It didn't take long for the pain to travel from your skin to your brain and for your brain to tell
you to get back. That process is essentially bottom-up processing.
What about the next time you sat next to the fire? Top-down processing hopefully helped you perceive the
fire as hot and helped you avoid having to learn that lesson all over again. Your brain knew from
experience that the fire was hot, and you may have even briefly felt the heat of the fire as if it were really
burning all over again. The higher-level processes of thinking and memory came into play. Even though

your sensory systems were available to let you know that fire hurts, in case you touched the fire again,
thanks to top-down processing, you hopefully avoided repeating a bad experience.
