Question.4938 - Module #3 DiscussionSocial psychologists examining how gender, race, and ethnicity influences perceptions have observed that in ambiguous situations, law enforcement personnel use top-down reasoning rather than bottom-up data processing. The reliance on top-down cues might lead to the shooting of the unarmed. What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up processing? And what remedial steps does psychology offer that might lessen the probability of a misperception that results in the shooting of an unarmed citizen?
