Q

Photoreceptors in the human retina are located at the front of retina – where the light first hits the retina.

A

False.

20
Q

Lateral processing in the retina is performed by:…

A

amacrine and horizontal cells

21
Q

The blind spot is a consequence of an inverted retina.
True or False

A

True ?
(I thought it is, because the optic nerve enters the retina at that spot, can somebody clarify?)
A: I think it depends on how you interpret “inverted” i.e. whole image inversion or because of photorecptors and ganglion cells dangling around at the wrong side.

22
Q

Which cells fire action potentials?

A

Ganglion cells

23
Q

The optic nerve leads from ganglion cells of the retina into:…

A

the thalamus

24
Q

How many types of photoreceptors exist in a healthy human retina?

A

4 types

25
Q

One cone photoreceptor always feeds into one ganglion cell.
True or False

A

False

26
Q

Receptive fields in the LGN have an excitatory and inhibitory region, therefore coding for contrast.

A

True

27
Q

An on-center ganglion cell will respond the strongest if we shine the light:

A

only on its center

28
Q

After the optic chiasm, the left optic tract contains information from both left and right visual hemifield.
True or False.

A

False

29
Q

Which types of cells we do not find in V1?

A

Icecube cells

30
Q

Complex cells can respond to a line of their preferred orientation anywhere in their receptive field.
True or False

A

False

31
Q

Cells in the V1 that preferentially fire for a certain line orientation are grouped into:…

A

orientation columns

32
Q

Lower-level visual areas are located in and around the…

A

calcarine sulcus

33
Q

In V1, the visual field is represented with both vertical (left to right) and horizontal (upper to lower) inversion. True or False

A

True

34
Q

Visual scene information in V2 and V3 is separated into quarter-fields.

A

True

35
Q

Visual information does not necessarily need to travel through … to get to V1.

A

the superior colliculus

36
Q

Area V5 is believed to process color.
True or False

A

False

37
Q

Which are the two main visual processing pathways?

A

Ventral and Dorsal

38
Q

Receptive fields of neurons in medial temporal lobe(MTL) of left hemisphere capture which part of the visual field?

A

Most of the field

39
Q

Top-down attention is guided by endogenous cues.
True or False

A

True

40
Q

What is exogenous or bottom-up visual attention?

A

The capture of attention by salient features

41
Q

During visual covert attention, gaze and attention are coupled.

A

False

42
Q

Top-down attention is neurally regulated by:

A

frontaparietal network

43
Q

In Posner cueing task, reactions are the slowest(reaction times longest) in:

A

invalid trials.

44
Q

Broadbent’s filter model is a late selection model: True or False

A

False

45
Q

In early selection models of attention, stimulus is selected further processing:

A

before perceptual analysis of the stimulus is complete.

46
Q

A characteristics of serial visual search is that it:

A

requires attention

47
Q

Serial visual search relies on the pop-out effect

A

False.
