Document Summary
Learning outcomes and vocabulary cognition and language: central pathways of vision and hearing. > right visual field information of the right eye crosses over to the left. > left visual field information of the left eye crosses over to the right: optic tract: from chiasm to geniculate nucleus each carries information of the contralateral visual field both eyes. > right: information of left visual field of both eyes. > left: information of right visual field of both eyes: optic radiation: from geniculate nucleus to visual cortex dorsal-ventral visual field organization is still preserved. > dorsal regions process ventral visual field information. Auditory pathways pathway of auditory information from the ear to higher order processing centers. How are these influences related to misunderstandings and misinterpretation of situations: influences on cognition, past experiences and memory, culture that you were raised in and are currently in, sensory input, specifically sensory integration mechanisms.
