PSC 131 Study Guide - Final Guide: Postcentral Gyrus, Auditory Cortex, Motion Aftereffect
Document Summary
This is a good solution to the real world: what is the aperture problem, aperture problem the problem that different directions of motion will look the same within a small aperture. And what does it tell us about how motion is encoded in the brain: motion aftereffect the perception of motion in the opposite direction of a moving stimulus that was just perceived. Eardrum, stapes, incus, malleus (ossicles smallest bones in the body) Selective attention the process by which we prioritize processing of information that is relevant to our current goals and tasks. The posner paradigm is an experimental design in which subjects are asked to fixate a central dot and press a button as soon as possible to a target appearing on the left or right. In the exogenous condition, an unexpected cue appears at the location of either the left or the right target in advance of the target.
