Q

5 categories of vision

A
  • vison for action
  • action for vision
  • visual recognition
  • visual space
  • visual attention
29
Q

vision for action

A
  • dorsal stream
  • ducking, catching, movement
  • bottom-up processing
30
Q

action for vision

A
  • guide attention to guide your movement
  • eye movements
  • visual scanning
  • we focus on facial features
  • top-down processing
31
Q

visual recognition

A
  • what are you looking at?

- temporal lobes

32
Q

visual space

A
  • egocentric space (location in relation to the viewer)
  • allocentric (location in relation to another object)
  • parietal lobes
33
Q

visual attention

A
  • how we don’t get overwhelmed

- pay attention to important characteristics

34
Q

Milner-Goodale Model

A

differentiating hierarchal parts of the visual system
2 pathways
1) object recognition
2) action

35
Q

a lesion in the visual cortex most likely to be …

A

macular sparing

36
Q

monocular blindness

A
  • loss of vision in one eye

- optic nerve or retina damage

37
Q

bitemporal hemianopia

A
  • loss of vision in moth temporal fields

- tumor of pituitary gland applying pressure to optic chiasm

38
Q

_______ nasal hemianopia

A
  • loss of vision in one nasal field

- damage to the lateral chiasm

39
Q

homonymous hemianopia

A
  • loss of vision in one visual field
  • can be from damage to LGN, V1 or optic tract
  • largest lesion
40
Q

quadrantanopia

A
  • loss of vision to 1/4 of the visual field
  • lesion near calcarine sulcus
  • medium lesion
41
Q

scotoma

A

blind spot

small lesion visual cortex

42
Q

scotoma

A

blind spot

small lesion visual cortex

43
Q

prosopagnosia

A
  • facial agnosia
  • cannot recognize previously known faces
  • bilateral damage to the temporal cortex
44
Q

alexia

A
  • dyslexia
  • inability to read
  • damage to left fusiform and lingual areas
45
Q

visuospatial agnosia

A
  • topographic disorientation
  • inability to find way around
  • damage to occipitotemporal regions
46
Q

apperceptive

A
  • unable to copy or match shapes
  • gross bilateral damage to the occipital cortex
  • simultagnosia (unable to perceive more than one object at a time)
47
Q

associative

A
  • can perceive objects but cannot identify them

- lesion to the anterior temporal lobe

48
Q

macular sparing

A
  • helps to differentiate between lesions of the optic tract and thalamus from cortical lesions
  • the muscular part of V1 might receive double the vascular supply from medial and cerebral artery
