Question 28

consolidation theory

Answer 28

memories undergo change since acquiring them. Gradual strengthening of cortico-cortical connections.

Question 29

heuristics

Answer 29

process in decision making that gives us acceptable solution but not perfect.

Question 30

difference between ventral and dorsal stream

Answer 30

ventral is accessible to consciousness where dorsal isnt

dorsal stream

Answer 34

vision-for-action, body centred coding, short lived representation

Question 35

ebbinghaus illusion

Answer 35

both centre cirles are same size but one in top looks larger due to distance.
