Questions and Answers
What is the receptive field?
What is the receptive field?
- A small area of the retina where light shone upon will increase the firing of receptive cells. (correct)
- A small area of the retina where signals sent from onlythe retinal ganglion cells will increase the firing of cells
- A large area of the retina where light shone upon will increase the firing of receptive cells.
- An area of the retina where light shone upon it will not activate cells in the retina.
Which one of these does not occur when light enters the eye?

Study Notes
Receptive Field and Visual Processing
- The receptive field refers to the specific region of the visual field that a neuron responds to.
Light and Eye Function
- When light enters the eye, the following do not occur: ( wait for the next question to provide the correct answer)
Neuromuscular Junction
- The neuromuscular junction connects the neuron to the muscle.
Sensory Adaptation
- Sensory adaptation is useful for enhancing sensitivity across a wide range of input intensities.
Visual Areas and Motion
- V5 responds to complex motion patterns.
- V6 responds to (wait for the next question to provide the correct answer).
- The visual area that does NOT function in motion is (wait for the next question to provide the correct answer).
Motion Development and Perception
- Apparent motion is perceived in area V5.
- Sensitivity to motion develops after birth, except for looming stimuli (things that might collide with the child), which may be present at birth.
