Document Summary
Dorsally by superior/middle/interior temp. gyrus, posterior by occipital lobe. Inferotemp. cortex: the visual stream for ventral processing (id objects to encode with or assoc. w/ mem. f/ interact) Abil. to smell/processing of olfact. stim done at uncus. Frontal association region refers to tertiary cortext; multimodal projects - process from all diff. strms and allow for higher order processing to take place. *cort. deafness: don"t experience sound even if ear is transducing info/allowing info to get to cortex. Important for not only id stim. in enviro. but placing them in categories. Cross-modal matching: info from diff. sens. streams combining for higher level concept for stim. e. g. forming a mem. and a construct for person you know: not only the way they look but smell/walk etc. Sts important for processing bio. motion (species specific movements e. g. humans having ability to know if someone is walking towards or away form you); activate when viewing species spec. behav.
