Q

what is the important case study of the closed-loop control : visual pathway and prosopgnosia ?

A
  • the monkey study

Q

what is one piece of evidence that shows we have a dorsal and ventral aspect

A

study by Ungerleider and Mishkin in the 1980s, the researchers trained monkeys to perform two different tasks: one involving the perception of the location of an object and the other involving the perception of the object’s identity

Q

describe the visual agnosia and DF study :

A
  • DF was asked to look at an object (so these would be paper drawings) and then in response, DF is asked to copy them using paper and pencil in order to copy the image

Q

what is the main point of the DF study ?

A
  • that DF has an idea, she has a memory of what these objects look like, however when she is physically looking at those things she’s only unable to recognize these elements

Q

what is action task ?

A

involves presenting a patient with a series of common objects, such as a pen, a key, or a watch, and asking them to identify or name the objects

22
Q

what are milner and goodale responsible for ?

A
  • visual agnosia
  • primarily involved in the early studies of DS processing abilities and they came up with this very simple task in order to provide a very explicit demonstration of what DF can and cannot do
23
Q

what was the PT asked to do for the closed-loop control : visual agnosia ?

A
  • was asked to pick up and orientate it to the slot
  • slot on the door can change orientation
24
Q

what was the AT asked to do fro the closed-loop control : visual agnosia ?

A

has to physically put in the slot

25
Q

do we have separate visual pathways for perception and action ?

A

yes

26
Q

what does LOC stand for ?

A

lateral occipital cortex

27
Q

what area has leison of patients with DF ?

A

LOC

28
Q

the leison in a visual agnosia DF patient ?

A

lesion will lead to an impairment in the use of vision for perception, but not in the use of vision to control action

29
Q

what is optic ataxia ?

A

an ataxia in which patients have difficulty completing visually guided reaching tasks in the absence of other sensory cues

30
Q

which ataxia has a double dissociation ?

A

optic ataxia

31
Q

can AT (ataxia) recognize shapes, sized and object features ?

A

yes without a problem

32
Q

can AT (ataxia) reach out and grasp objects with visual control ?

A

no they cannot

33
Q

can DF (agnosia) recognize shapes, sizes and objejct features ?

A

no they cannot

34
Q

can DF (agnosia) reach out and grasp objects properly ?

A

yes

35
Q

describe patient Anne :

A
  • has bilateral posterior parietal cortex lesions
  • has dysmetria / misreading errors
  • looking @ object through peripheral vision and is reaching out grasping it
  • in right peripheral visual field the cant catch pen but on the left side she can
  • improved performance = closed eyes
36
Q

fill in the two blanks “someone who has an optic ataxia will have a challenge in using _____ in order to control _____ , and so this represents the double dissociation that supports this duplex model of vision control”

A

vision and action

37
Q

when does patient Anne have improved performance ?

A

when she closes her eyes

38
Q

what is the ponzo illusion ?

A

visual illusion that demonstrates how our perception of the size of an object is influenced by the context in which it appears (scale)

39
Q

which visual pathway is egocentric responsible for ?

A

dorsal visual pathway

40
Q

which visual pathway is allocentric responsible for ?

A

ventral visual pathway

41
Q

between egocentric and allocentric which is relative and absolute ?

A

egocentric = absolute
allocentric = relative

42
Q

describe the muller-layer figure ?

A

type of visual illusion in which two lines of the same length appear to be different lengths due to the addition of arrow-like fins at the ends of the lines (arrows can be oriented inwards or outwards)

43
Q

what are muller-layer figures used for ?

A

closed loop controls : visual frames of reference

44
Q

what is the muller-layer figured an example of ?

A

pictorial illusion

45
Q

what is the “lee’s moving room experiment” ?

A

an experiment in sensory psychology that investigates how the brain uses visual and vestibular (balance-related) cues to perceive motion and orientation in space

46
Q

describe lee’s moving room experiment :

A
  • subjects asked to maintain static posture while facing the front wall
  • experimenter gradually moved wall forwards or backward
  • postural sway measured
  • moving wall FOWARD resulted in a dramatic forward lean
  • moving wall BACKWARD resulted in a dramatic forward lean
  • visual information is a source of afferent information controlling balance
47
Q

moving wall FOWARD resulted ______________

A

in a dramatic forward lean

48
Q

moving wall BACKWARD resulted ________________

A

resulted in a dramatic forward lean

49
Q

was lee’s moving room experiment easier/more difficult for adults/kids ?

A

easier = adults
harder = kids

50
Q

why was lee’s moving room experiment more difficult for kids ?

A

kids dont have sophisticated nervous systems yet therefore they call on their bums
