Tutorial content Flashcards
What suggests that facial identity and emotion processing are disctinct?
No deficits for the eye emotion recognition test compared to controls
When are sensory inputs likely to be integrated into a single event/source?
Spatial and temporal correspondence
Which sources of perception are given more credence? How does this change due to the environment?
Those with more spatial precision such as visions in good lighting, or proprioception in poor lighting
Which area is involved in limb representation?
Temporo-parietal junction
What happens when TPJ is TMSed?
Difficulties mental transforming their body (imagine it rotating) but not external objects
How do false and real hand representations get combined in the mirror hand illusion?
The two representation are averaged and motion resembles reaching for the target FROM this averaged start point. Greater visual disparity = greater error.
Where does proprioceptive drift tend to occur towards?
Default midline position, either standing or seated; or towards a fake hand
Which is stronger for the rubber hand illusion and why: synchronous or asynchronous stroking (priming)?
Synchronous because of temporal & spatial correspondence (triggering integration of inputs into single event)
What happens to rubber hand illusion when there is rTMS to TPJ?
Weakened illusion
Why invert faces in the perception test?
To remove the effect of holistic processing, which normal people seem to do only in properly oriented faces. PSPGs show no difference in either inversion; thus, no holistic processing benefit (perhaps even some impairment due to interference from holistic processing deficit? As worse upright than inverted…)
Are there impairments of within-category object recognition?
Yes greater for cars then guns. Possibly because they look similar to faces.
