Students have asked these similar questions
Unilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic
sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The
explanation for this is:
Auditory information does not reach the cortex
Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere.
Auditory information goes to both hemispheres
How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned?
between bipolar cells and horizontal cells
in the outermost layer of the retina
in the ganglion cell layer
farthest from the pigment epithelium
Explain why the condition represented in Figure causes loss of vision in the center of the field of vision and blurriness in the periphery.
Which statement about color perception theory is true?
The mechanisms involved in opponent-process theory take place earlier in the perceptual process than those involved in trichromatic theory.
The processes proposed by both trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory take place in the primary visual cortex.
Trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory are both strongly supported by behavioral and physiological evidence.
Recently, trichromatic theory has overtaken opponent-process theory as the best explanation of color and hue perception.

- Using the terms below, what is the order of the visual pathway elements in order from eye to cortex? 1) Optic radiations 2) lateral geniculate nucleus 3) Optic tract 4) primary visual cortex (V1)/Striate cortex 5) Optic Nervearrow_forwardHow can the vision of a person with uncorrected nearsightedness be described?arrow_forwardExplain the normal functioning of the eye to allow us to have visual acuity. What is meant by visual acuity? How does the eye adjust to facilitate this? Specifically, how do changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism affect acuity? What is the problem with changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism and why are they problematic? How can each of these be measured? Can these conditions be corrected? If so, how? Do these conditions change as we age?arrow_forward
- What are the three illogical characteristics of the visual system?arrow_forwardThe lateral geniculate nuclei (LGN)are 6-layer structures in each hemisphere, which receive input from the retina from the ipsilateral and contralateral eyes. What is true of the layer distribution of the LGN regarding how they receive inputs from the eyes? layers 1, 4 and 6 from contralateral eye layers 4,5 and 6 from ipsilateral eye layers 2,3 and 5 from ipsilateral eye a) and c)arrow_forwardDespite the presence of the blind spot, you do not consciously experience a “hole” in your vision. Why not?arrow_forward
- Three patients have suffered destruction of different portions of their visual pathway. Patient 1 has lost the right optic tract, patient 2 has lost the nerve fibers that cross at the optic chiasm, and patient 3 has lost the left occipital lobe. Draw a picture of what each person would perceive through each eye when looking at a white wall.arrow_forwardBlindsight is the condition in which someone with damage in the primary visual cortex reports that they cannot see an object, but can usually guess what that object is. This means that some visual representation must reach the frontal speech area. What non-thalamic pathway might do that? Question 8 options: A) The pathway through the suprachiasmatic nucleus B) The dorsal visual pathway C) The pathway through the superior colliculus D) The magnocelluar or M pathwayarrow_forwardMany people think that vision is processed solely in the occipital lobe, and language in the temporal. Discuss why this is a poor heuristic and name at least three areas of major processing overlap in the frontal and/or parietal lobes.arrow_forward
- Mr. Ally went to the eye doctor and complained about dark areas in his vision. He had never noticed it before. There is no pain. What is the diagnosis? Explain the reason behind floaters and dark areas in the visual field. How should the doctor treat Mr. Ally?arrow_forwardWhy does the blind spot from the optic disc in either eye not result in a blind spot in the visual field?arrow_forwardPresbycusis is an age-related hearing loss affecting individuals over the age of 65. Many affected individuals have difficulty understanding words because, although they may be able to hear the sound, they are unable to distinguish the exact words. This hearing loss is most noticeable at higher frequencies. Which of the following statements correctly describes an individual suffering from presbycusis? Select one: a. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the base of the cochlea, which is closest to the oval window. b. Increasing the volume of higher frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better. O c. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the apex of the cochlea, which is farthest from to the oval window. Od. Decreasing the amplitude of lower frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better.arrow_forward
