Reconstructing human psychological realityThere is clearly an enormous gap between the big data provided by the external world and our strictly limited capacity to process them. The intimate processing between sensory inputs and our semantic networks enables us to recognize familiar objects within a few milliseconds, even if they show the complexity of human faces (Locher et al.,; Willis and Todorov,; Carbon, ).Top-down processes are powerful in schematizing and easing-up perceptual processes in the sense of compressing the “big data” of the sensory inputs towards tiny data packages with pre-categorized labels on such schematized “icons” (Carbon, ). The goal is to make one (and only one) decision based on the unambiguous interpretation of this situation in order to execute an appropriate action. The gap widens even further when taking into account that we not only have to process the data but ultimately have to make clear sense of the core of the given situation. This very teleological way of processing needs inhibitory capabilities for competing interpretations to strictly favor one single interpretation which enables fast action without quarrelling about alternatives.
