p 62 The Key Role of Analogies
Analogies vary not only in their degree of salience (i.e. obviousness)
but also in their degrees of strength. Thus the islands "34" and "567"
are somewhat less obviously analogous than "11" and "22", but once the
analogy is perceived, it is a very strong one.

p 63
What we are describing, then, is a perceptual process that begins in a
pure bottom-up manner but that is gradually invaded by increasing
amounts of top-down influence. "Bottom-up" here describes perceptual
acts that are made very locally and without any context-dependent
expectations; "top-down" pertains to perceptual acts that attempt to
bring in concepts, and to extend patterns [...]
Another term for "bottom-up" is thus "data-driven"; "top-down"
corresponds to "theory-driven".
