At, women who has optic ataxia (from last lecture) She learned to accommodate for optic ataxia by closing her eyes, and eating that way: without online vision (seeing with eyes open) at is able to perform a goal directed action with a degree of success. Summary: df cannot perform memory guided actions, at can do this well. This is when you cannot react to changes or see changes in your environment: as a result of this you are not consciously aware that the target has moved. Individuals with visual agnosia have it worse then people with damage to parietal cortex (optic ataxia) Processing characteristics with posterior parietal cortex: automatic and involuntary, processed online visual information, responds only to position information: it is achromatic (not sensitive to colour change, posterior parietal cortex is the automatic pilot. Magnetic misreaching: jj has a unilateral left parietal lesion, demonstrates a phenomenon known as magnetic misreaching.
