27
Q

The transient processing system is what? and the Sustained transient system is what?

A
Transient = magnocellular
Sustained = parvocellular
28
Q

T/F: Alterations in the order, timing or processing speed of the two systems can result in a visual processing deficit.

A

True

29
Q

While reading, performing fixations involves which processing system?

A

Sustained, parvocellular

30
Q

While reading, performing saccades involves which processing system?

Q

If the transient system does not erase information, what 3 issues occur?

A
  1. patters overlap
  2. masking doesn’t occur
