10: VISUAL STREAMS Flashcards
2 VISUAL STREAMS
- DORSAL STREAM
- VENTRAL STREAM
visual stream that = system of interconnected regions of visual cortex involved in perception of SPATIAL LOCATION
DORSAL STREAM
STRIATE CORTEX → POSTERIOR PARIETAL CORTEX
PATHWAY OF DORSAL STREAM
WHERE STREAM: provides visual info that guides navigation/mvmts directed toward objects
DORSAL STREAM FUNCTION
visual stream that = system of interconnected regions of VISUAL CORTEX involved in perception of FORM
VENTRAL STREAM
STRIATE CORTEX → INFERIOR TEMPORAL CORTEX
PATHWAY OF VENTRAL STREAM
WHAT STREAM: provides visual info abt size/shape/colour/texture of objects
VENTRAL STREAM FUNCTION
theory that:
DORSAL STREAM = vision-for-ACTION
VENTRAL STREAM = vision-for-perception
PERCEPTION VS ACTION MODEL (GOODALE + MILNER)
blindness in RIGHT EYE
RIGHT EYE BLINDNESS
blindness in both TEMPORAL (OUTER) visual fields
BITEMPORAL BLINDNESS
blindness in both LEFT visual fields
LVF HEMIANOPIA
blind spot/partial loss of vision
SCOTOMA
entire QUADRANT of visual field = blind
QUADRANTOPOA
entire SIDE of visual field = blind
HEMIANOPIA
ability of person who CANNOT see objects in their blind field to ACCURATELY IDENTIFY facial expressions of emotion while remaining UNCONSCIOUS of perceiving them
BLINDSIGHT
