Textbook Question
Chapter 49, Problem 5TYU
After suffering a stroke, a patient can see objects anywhere in front of him but pays attention only to objects in his right field of vision. When asked to describe these objects, he has difficulty judging their size and distance. What part of the brain was likely damaged by the stroke?
- (A) the left frontal lobe
- (B) the right frontal lobe
- (C) the right parietal lobe
- (D) the corpus callosum

Following a stroke Dr. Z was unable to recognize the members of his family when shown their portrait. It was different when he was in their physical presence, because then if he heard them speak or saw them move in particular ways he could identify them. Where is the most likely site of brain damage?
Question 3 options:
A)
Ventral pathway from V1 to the fusiform gyrus
B)
Ventral pathway from V1 to amygdala
C)
Dorsal pathway from V1 to motor cortex
D)
Primary visual (V1) cortex
Pat and Sam both experienced brain injuries resulting from car accidents. Pat now has difficulty processing auditory information. Sam now has difficulty identifying objects by sight.

A) frontal
B) temporal
C) parietal
D) occipital
