Single-cell recording studies in monkeys and fMRI studies in humans have shown that neural activity in area LIP is associated with tasks requiring eye movements to:
A) locate visual targets and with tasks requiring shifts of attention.
B) selectively respond to the direction and speed of motion of stimuli.
C) visually guide reaching and grasping objects.
D) view faces and a wide range of nonface stimuli.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Area LIP (Lateral Intraparietal area) is involved in planning and controlling eye movements, especially in tasks that require locating visual targets and shifting attention, rather than processing specific types of visual stimuli, guiding reaching and grasping, or viewing faces and nonface stimuli.
