A)the modular coding view is sufficient to explain the perception of objects.
B)the distributed coding view is sufficient to explain the perception of objects.
C)the modular coding view is insufficient to explain the perception of objects.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Haxby et al.'s 2001 study showed that different categories of objects activate different patterns across the brain, suggesting that object perception involves a network of areas, not just isolated modules. This indicates that the modular coding view, which suggests that specific brain areas are dedicated to processing specific types of stimuli, is insufficient on its own to explain object perception, supporting a more distributed coding view.
