Intro

Question 1

what is gestalt psychology

Answer 1

the mind perceives an external stimulus as a whole rather than a sum of its parts

Question 2

what is perceptual segregration

Answer 2

which are objects which are not

Question 3

the retina geniculate striate system

Answer 3

the p & m pathway

Question 4

what doe the p pathway

Answer 4

sensitive to colour and detail… impact from cones

Question 5

m pathway …

Answer 5

sensitive to movement, input from rods

Question 6

wwhere is the damage if the person has optic ataxia

Answer 6

dorsal pathway

Question 7

what is problem when have optic ataxia

Answer 7

visual motions

Question 8

what is akinetopsia

Answer 8

brain damage where stationary object are seen well but not moving ones

Question 9

what is achromatopsia

Answer 9

little or no colour perception

Question 10

normans 2002

Answer 10

dual process approach

Question 11

what is the retnopic map

Answer 11

nerve sells occupying the same respective portions as their relative fields on the retina

Question 12

what is the executive network

Answer 12

target detection

supervisoring control

Question 13

what is the alerting network

Answer 13

maintaining focus over a period of time

Question 14

what is orienting network

Answer 14

directed attention

3 operations : disengage, move, engage

Question 15

implicityly processed stimuli?

Answer 15

noticed and unreported

Question 16

explicitly processed stimuli

Answer 16

noticed and consciously assessed

lead to an over attentional shift

Question 17

overt orientating

Answer 17

eye movements accompany attentional shifts

Question 18

covert orientating

Answer 18

attentional shifts occur in the absence of eye movements

Question 19

what network is exogeneous

Answer 19

ventral

Question 20

what network is endogeneous

Answer 20

dorsal

Question 21

what is the receptive field

Answer 21

the region of the retina where light influences the activity of a particular neuron

Question 22

cognitive bottleneck theory

Answer 22

postponing the processing due to a bottleneck, impossible for appropriate responses to 2 different stimuli to be made simultaniously

Question 23

V5 area?

Answer 23

MT - middle temporal, involved in motion processing

Question 24

V4 area?

Answer 24

colour processing

Question 25

V2 area

Answer 25

orientation, spatial frequencies

Question 26

V1 area

Answer 26

specialised for processing information about orientaions and spatial frequencies
