10 Questions
What is the receptive field?
A small area of the retina where light shone upon will increase the firing of receptive cells.
Which one of these does not occur when light enters the eye?
- The cells convert electrical activity back into light energy
The neuromuscular junction connects the
Brain and the limbs
Sensory adaptation is useful to enhance sensitivity across a wide range of input intensities
False
Which visual area does NOT function in motion?
V4
V5 responds to complex motion patterns
False
V6 responds to
self-induced motion
Apparent motion
is when an object appears in position A at time 1 then position B at time 2, so it had moved from A to B
When does sensitivity to motion develop?
10-12 weeks old
Looming stimuli (things that might collide with the child) may be present at birth.
True
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.
