CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM:

SOMETHING IS PRESENTED TO YOU VISUALLY AND YOU "RECOGNIZE" THIS AS A BLUEJAY (THE BIRD, NOT A MEMBER OF THE TEAM THAT CHOKES). THAT IS YOU GO FROM A VISUAL DISPLAY TO A CLASSIFICATION, WHICH YOU CAN EVEN NAME

(1) PATTERN PERCEPTION INVOLVED A SET OF MORE BASIC STEPS OR STAGES (2) GOING FROM ONE STAGE TO THE NEXT PROCEEDED SERIALLY (i.e., A STAGE HAD TO BE COMPLETED, AND THE RESULT OF THE RESULTS OF THE PROCESSING OF THAT STAGE FED INTO THE NEXT STEP) AND (3) PROCESSING WITHIN A STAGE OCCURRED IN PARALLEL
