Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability to identify an object as a cellular telephone involves higher-level processing performed by the visual association cortex, which integrates visual information with past experiences and knowledge about objects. Photoreceptors and ganglion cells are involved in the initial processing of visual information, while the primary visual cortex is responsible for basic visual analysis such as detecting edges and contrast.
