A

no signs of abating and is at least 2.00 D

20/60 or better

100
Q

EFFECTS OF EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS: Critical period of kittens

A

1-3 months

101
Q

EFFECTS OF EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS: Hebbian Model of Synaptic Refinement

A

If both eyes have equivalent retinal images, then most of the cortical neurons become BINOCULAR

When one eye is deprived: because a LGN with input from the nondeprived eye will stimulate a cortical cell more strongly than a geniculate cell form the deprived eye, there is a strengthening of synapses for the nondeprived eye relative to the deprived eye
