Document Summary
Objects: potentially movable entities without background elements that are bounded by a single contour. Objects are spatially compact entities one acts upon, whereas scenes are spatially distributed entities one acts within. Rsc: retrosplenial region extending posteriorly into the parietal-occipital sulcus. Whereas the ppa seems to be primarily involved in perceptual analysis of the scene, the rsc. Transverse occipital sulcus (tos) - this has also been labeled the occipital place area (opa) The ppa and rsc appear to play distinct but complementary roles in scene recognition. seems to play a more mnemonic role, connecting the local scene to broader spatial environment. Place familiarity; rsc more sensitive; ppa responds equally to both familiar and nonfamiliar. Rsc situating the scene relative to other locations for places that are known. Ppa damage = difficult in identifying places and landmarks; but identifying discrete objects intact.
