Learning Check 3

The results of Gauthier's "Greeble" experiment illustrate

An effect of experience-dependent plasticity

In which neurological disorder might mirror neurons be most likely to be implicated as potential cause of the disorder?

Autism

One problem with Selfrige's Pandemonium Model is that it

Can't account for how we can process information both globally and locally.

Patients with associative visual agnosia might be able to correctly draw or copy an image but not recognize what it is. This is an example of a

Dissociation

In Selfrige's Pandamonium Model, features of a stimulus are detected at the level of the

Feature demon

Selfridge's pandemonium model describes processing at several levels or demons. The processing of vertical lines, horizontal lines, angles, or curves would occur at the level of the

Feature demon

When a double dissociation occurs, this indicates that two functions

Involves different mechanisms.

The neurons that respond while watching a demonstrator perform a task are called

Mirror neurons

Damage to the temporal lobe makes the _____ more difficult

Object discrimination or recognition problem

People perceive vertical and horizontal orientations more easily than other orientations according to the

Oblique effect

Speech segmentation is defined as

Organizing the sounds of speech into individual words

The landmark or special discrimination problems are more difficult to do if you have damage to your _____ lobe.

Parietal

Generally, if we can see an object's geons, we are able to identify the object. This is known as the

Principles of componential recovery: Ability to recognize objects given only a few geons.

You are at a parade where there are a number of marching bands. You perceive the bands that are all in the same uniforms as being grouped together. The red uniforms are one band, the green uniforms another and so forth. You have this perceptual experience because of the law of

Similarity

Jane is four, and when playing in the park recently, she saw a dog that she'd never seen before. Even though she had never seen the dog, she was able to label the dog as being a dog. This scenario causes problems for which explanation of perception?

Template matching theory

Hollingsworth's studies of blobs indicate that we perceive information based on

The situation or context.

Percieving machines are used by the US postal service to read the addresses on letters and sort them quickly to their correct destinations. Sometimes, these machines cannot read an address, because the writing on the envelope is not sufficiently clear for the machine to match the writing to an example it has stored in memory. Human postal workers are much more successful at reading unclear addresses, mostly likely because of

Top down processing.

One problem with the Template Matching Theory of perception is that

We don't have templates for every possible experience

The likelihood principle states that

We perceive the object that is most likely to have caused the pattern of stimuli we have received.

The pathway leading from the striate cortex in the occipital lobe to the temporal lobe is known as the:

What pathway
