Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology
occipital lobes - correct answer posterior pole of the cerebral hemispheres
parietal-occipital sulcus - correct answer distinguishes occipital lobe from the parietal lobe
ventral surface of the brain - correct answer occipital cortex extends forward to merge with medial and
ventral temporal cortices
V4 and V8 - correct answer color regions
Brodmann - correct answer divided monkey cortex into three regions
human maps - correct answer based on non-invasive imaging such as fMRI
monkey maps - correct answer based on anatomy and connections
Fred Previc - correct answer upper fields are more specialized for visual search and recognition, the
lower fields are more specialized for visuomotor guidance
upper fields - correct answer specialized for visual search and recognition
lower fields - correct answer specialized for visuomotor guidance
V1 - correct answer complete laminar organization
motion vs. recognition - correct answer vision evolved first for motion, not for recognition
simple organisms - correct answer can detect light
vision acts to guide movement - correct answer most primitive form of vision for care
, Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology
recognition - correct answer human vision can be understood without reference to it
system knowing what an object is - correct answer includes the flow of visual information from area V1
to the temporal lobe in the ventral stream
system controlling the visual guidance of movements - correct answer includes the flow of information
from area V1 to the parietal lobe in the dorsal stream
dorsal stream - correct answer dorsal stream be thought of as a set of systems for the on-line visual
control of action
Milner and Goodale - correct answer predominant characteristic of the neurons in posterior parietal
regions is that they are active during a combination of visual stimulation and associated behavior
Milner and Goodale - correct answer posterior parietal neurons can be characterized as an interface
between analysis of the visual world and motor action taken on it
Milner and Goodale - correct answer most of the visual impairments associated with lesions to the
parietal cortex can be characterized as visuomotor or orientational
natural lesions - correct answer seldom respect the boundaries of specific visual areas
infarct - correct answer dead tissue
perimetry - correct answer Standardized method in which the subject fixates on a black dot in the center
of a large, white hemisphere. A small light is moved around the field, and the task is to indicate when the
light can be seen. Its objective is to measure the size of a visual-field defect
performance - correct answer mapped by indicating the area of blindness on a schematic map of the
visual fields
occipital lobes - correct answer posterior pole of the cerebral hemispheres
