Bottom-up processing is not thought to be a very efficient way to approach a text initially, and is often contrasted with top-down processing, which is thought to be more efficient. Example.

Had Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it is likely that there would be massive crushing of the fore part of the ship, which may have prolonged its end, since theoretically while it may have begun to go down by the bow, the center and aft compartments would have stayed dry for a longer period of time.
At 11.40 PM on April 14 th, Titanic had her encounter with an iceberg. Immediately after the collision, Wilde moved forward to inspect the forepeak and see the flooding for himself. He then came back to the bridge to make a report just before the carpenter arrived. These two reports seem to have convinced Smith that Titanic was sinking.
