when looking at a face, an observed focuses on what areas of the face

A

eyes and mouth, particularly in the left visual field

45
Q

bias to the left visual field seems to be specific to what

A

viewing faces

46
Q

when a subject performs a mental rotation task, the task is often accompanied by what

eye movements

47
Q

what improves performance on tasks in the dark

A

closing eyes

48
Q

what does egocentric space refer to

A

space in relation to observer

49
Q

what does allocentric space refer to

A

space in relation of objects to each other

50
Q

what influences what we attend to in the visual system

A

top down and bottom up

51
Q

information for visually guided movement projects from…

A

v1 to parietal areas over dorsal stream

52
Q

patients with damage to lateral occipital area could…..

A

shape hand to grasp object they could not consciously see

53
Q

patients with damage to dorsal stream can…..

A

see objects but not accurately reach for them

54
Q

what does dorsal stream provide

A

real time visual control of action

55
Q

simple animals move toward or away from light without…..

A

perceiving light or dark

56
Q

when are posterior parietal visual neurons active

A

only when the brain is acting on visual info, not just looking at it (THIS IS DORSAL STREAM)

57
Q

what is the role of dorsal stream neurons in the visual system

to provide a connection between the visual world that is perceived and the intent to take action in that world

58
Q

how are parietal-cortex lesions that impact visual areas characterized?

A

visuospatial or visuomotor

59
Q

much of dorsal stream processing in visual system occurs where

A

below conscious awareness

60
Q

areas V3 and V4 are found in which stream and lobe

A

ventral stream, temporally

61
Q

areas V5 and V3A are found in which stream and lobe

A

dorsal stream, parietal

Q

how do dorsal and ventral streams exchange information

A

through poly sensory neurons in STS

63
Q

ventral stream main function

A

visually identify objects

64
Q

dorsal stream main function

A

visual action to guide movements

65
Q

main details in B.K. case study

A

V1 and scotoma

66
Q

what is blindsight

A

knowing something about the visual stimulus even tho the patient says the cant see it. V1 may be damaged but higher visual areas remain intact

67
Q

main details in DB case study

A

V1 damage and blindsight (removal of right calcarine fissure)

68
Q

main details in BI case study

A

damage to occipital lobe bilaterally, is able to recognie faces/colors, using higher processing areas

69
Q

main details in JI case study

A

damage and loss of color vision

70
Q

main details in PB case study

A

can detect presence of light, otherwise blind but can still imagine colors

71
Q

main details in LM case study

A

V5 (MT) damage and movement

72
Q

main details in DF case study

A

occipital damage and visual agnosia

73
Q

what is visual agnosia

A

inability to recognize objectsor pictures of objects

74
Q

famous study done on DF

A

mailing card through slot

75
Q

what do results of the DF study suggest

A

ventral stream is not intact, dorsal stream is (still able to match orientation of card to slot ONLY if she made a movement to do it)

76
Q

what is optic ataxia

A

deficit in visually guided movements like reaching

77
Q

what is prosopagnosia

A

cant recognize faces

78
Q

what is alexia

A

difficulty reading

79
Q

what is apperceptive agnosia

A

object agnosia in which patient fails to recignizse a basic feature of the object like color or motion

80
Q

what is simultagnosia

A

patient can perceive object but only one at a time

81
Q

what is associative agnosia

A

patient can perceive the object but cannot recognize it
