Accepted Answer

A method that allows researchers to determine whether two cognitive functions are independent of one another.

Question 2

Prosopagnosia is a selective inability to visually recognize or differentiate:
A.Identify of faces
B.A category of objects
C.Numbers
D.Facial expressions

Accepted Answer

Identify of faces

Question 3

What kind of visual processing do large receptive fields allow for?

Accepted Answer

A

Question 4

Senses must determine and distinguish 'what' and 'where'.In the visual system which pathways tend to do what?

Accepted Answer

The ventral stream is involved in object recognition and form representation (the "what" pathway), while the dorsal stream is involved in processing the object's spatial location (the "where" pathway).

Question 5

The inversion effect of face processing has been used as evidence for which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The inversion effect in face processing is used as evidence for configural processing of faces. This effect demonstrates that people are better at recognizing faces when they are upright compared to when they are inverted, suggesting that the spatial relationships between facial features (configural information) are crucial for face recognition.

Question 6

Differences in scale, contrast variation and occlusion are problems in visual perception that are solved by which part of the visual system:

Accepted Answer

The ventral stream, part of the visual system, is primarily responsible for object recognition and form representation, which includes solving problems related to differences in scale, contrast variation, and occlusion.

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which pattern of brain activation is the...

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:

Accepted Answer

Form-cue invariance refers to the brain's ability to recognize objects regardless of variations in their presentation, such as changes in form or appearance. The example given, where neural activation decreases with repeated presentations of an object despite changes in its form (from a real apple to a drawing of an apple), illustrates this concept.

Question 9

Visual agnosia is an inability to recognize objects in the visual modality and is divided into two types:
A.Apperceptive and associative 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?
A.HYPERLINK "https.//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_visual_cortex" \o "Primary visual cortex" Primary visual cortex and occipital regions
B.Parietal and temporal regions
C.Occipitotemporal and temporal regions
D.V1 and temporal regions

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ventral visual processing stream consists of...

Question 11

Someone with apperceptive agnosia would have deficits with which of the following:

Accepted Answer

Apperceptive agnosia is characterized by a difficulty in perceiving the shape and form of objects, which directly impacts holistic processing, the ability to perceive the overall shape and structure of an object rather than just its parts.

Question 12

The brain's ability to recognize the different instances of the same object as shown in a photo, a painting, and a drawing is an example of ____________ and is related to activation in the _____________.

Accepted Answer

Cue form invariance, which is the brain's ability to recognize different instances of the same object regardless of the medium (photo, painting, drawing), is related to activation in the lateral occipital cortex. This area is known for its role in object recognition and visual processing.

Question 13

Neural modules within the ventral stream may be specialized for recognising specific categories of objects.There is evidence for four types of specialized modules.Which acronyms represent these four types?
A.VWFA, PPA, EBA, FFA
B.VWFA, PPA, EPA, FAA
C.VWFA, PPP, EBA, FAA
D.VWWA, PAA, EPA, FFA

Accepted Answer

The answer of Neural modules within the ventral stream may...

Question 14

Which hemisphere of the brain seems to play a predominant role in face recognition?
A.Right
B.Left
C.Neither

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which hemisphere of the brain seems to...

Question 15

Someone with associative agnosia would be able to __________ but would have difficulties with ________:

Accepted Answer

Associative agnosia is a condition where individuals can perceive objects but have difficulty recognizing, identifying, or assigning meaning to them. They can copy objects because their visual perception abilities remain intact, but they struggle with naming objects because they cannot access their knowledge about the objects they can see.

Question 16

Fill in the gaps in the following sentence.Early cortical areas code __________________, whereas higher-level areas are critical for organizing sensations into representations of __________________.
A.Basic features, recognizable objects
B.Recognizable objects, basic features
C.Visual information, tactile information
D.Tactile information, visual information

Accepted Answer

The answer of Fill in the gaps in the following...
