Document Summary
4. 2 discuss the role of attention and the nature of the binding problem: when in an environment with 2 or more stimuli, we tend to hone in on one and block out or partially block out the other. A pear for example is smooth, green, round, sweet and has a smell. Isolate one of these characteristics and the first guess would not be a pear. Our brain put al those characteristics together in a process called binding. 4. 5 describe the different visual problems: the phenomenon that blind people use the visual cortex for other senses illustrates brain plasticity. The brain regions gradually adapt to the jobs the brain needs: blindsight is the ability of bind people with damage to their cortex to make correct guesses about the appearance of things around them. 1: visual agnosia is the deficit in perceiving objects in which someone can describe the object but cannot name it.
