I chose this image because I think that it is a great example of Top-Down visual processing. Top-Down processing involves goal-based visual fixation. In our daily lives, if we do not know where to go, we really on a GPS. A GPS is made for the user to constantly look at it in order for it to provide punctual and effective feedback for use in the external environment. Top-Down visual processing is categorized by goal-directed eye movement, and a constant looping cycle between action and cognition. A GPS embodies both of those aspects; we really at the GPS to provide us with timely feedback on route to the destination/goal, and the information that is constantly provided to the user must be turned into action, creating a constant loop until the goal and/or destination is achieved and/or reached. Any GPS is a great example of Top-Down Visual Perception.
