A)Magnocellular pathway
B)Parvocellular pathway
C)Ventral stream
D)Dorsal stream

Question 7

Which pattern of brain activation is the scientific evidence in favour of for a specific category of images?
A.Distributed activity across the entire ventral visual processing stream
B.Response to a particular category of visual images is found in just one area of the brain
C.Particular regions may specialise in terms of how and when they activate, but they will respond to more than one category of images and other regions will also activate for those images
D.Activity is distributed across regions of the brain except for face recognition

Question 8

Neural adaptation (aka habituation) in fMRI occurs when the same object is presented to someone repeatedly, which results in decreases of neural activation with each repetition of that object.Interestingly, showing a picture of a real apple several times and then showing a drawing of an apple continues to elicit decreasing activation with each presentation despite these variations.This is an example of:

A)Category specific processing
B)Form-cue invariance

C.Apperceptive and pattern agnosia
D.Percept and pattern agnosia

Question 10

The ventral visual processing stream consists of two areas of the brain that are devoted to processing visual stimuli.What are they called?

B.Parietal and temporal regions
C.Occipitotemporal and temporal regions
D.V1 and temporal regions
