Document Summary
Ability seen very early in development o o the ability to process things and patterns in the environment is seen really early in development kids have spatial processing going on as soon as they can see. Development of visuo-spatial processing continues throughout childhood and into adolescence o you are sort of refining your spatial cognitive skills. Parallel processing in the visual cortex looking at processing in the visual cortex, there are different sensory areas: o primary visual cortex (v1), located at the very back in our occipital lobe o secondary visual cortex (v2) Two general pathways from the primary visual cortex. There are primary pathways; from primary visual cortex, that are thought to be important for spatial cognition: Ventral stream occipito-temporal stream for object perception o o o identification of objects (e. g. what is it? is it a person"s face or is it a chair) What stream going to the temporal lobe/ temporal cortex.
