The dorsal pathway, also known as the "where" pathway, primarily processes information about the movement and location of stimuli. Damage to this pathway can result in difficulties perceiving motion or localization of stimuli, which aligns with Mi Jeong's inability to detect the movement of a stimulus. The other options (lower occipital lobe, lateral stream, and ventral pathway) are not typically associated with this type of deficit.
