Question

The Focus on Neuroscience: Vision, Experience, and the Brain box describes the visual experience of Mike May, who regained partial sight in one eye after 40 years of blindness. The text described the fact that Mike was able to quickly identify moving objects, but had trouble identifying complex objects that were stationery, including faces. As your text explins, neuroscientists who worked with Mike believe that Mike's experience reflects the fact that O A. motion perception pathways develop later than face and object recognition. O B. motion perception pathways develop earlier than face and object recognition. C. C. the ability to perceive moving objects requires more cognitive effort than the ability to perceive complex but stationary objects. D.Mike was able to combine visual signals from both eyes to identify moving objects

Explanation / Answer

Mike's experiences reflect that

C: The ability to perceive moving objects require more cognitive efforts than the ability to perceive more complex but stationary objects.

Because Mike could not process the recognition and identification of stationary objects such as the faces and details of other stationary objects. Visual perception requires the combined response from eyes and brain. Since Mike's brain could not process what was visible to his eye, he was unable to recognize details of stationary objects. But Mike could combine the information from all other senses such as the sound, motion vibration, color etc to perceive moving objects. With practice he learned to use other senses more than depending on vision.

One limitation to naturalistic experiments is:

D: They tell us nothing about the cause-and-effect relationships

Since the naturalistic experimentations are carried out in the natural environments, the variables studied cannot be manipulated. Thus the effect studied is not the causal response. Hence, we do not get any information regarding the cause and effect relation by studying naturalistic experimentations.

The activation of the B:Pre-frontal cortex aresareas of brain reflects the dreams emotiinal qualities.

Because the pre frontal cortex region consists of the frontal lobe which is responsible for the emotional characteristics.
