PSYC304 Perception
Week 4 Forum
First, watch the video below discussing the primary visual cortex. Then discuss a minimum of two functional properties of visual cortical cells. Include in your discussion how the human brain uses these properties in perceiving objects in our everyday activities. In addition, discuss three things (objects, situations, age etc.) that can impede the normal functioning of these properties.
Support your answer and use specific examples. You may refer to your assigned Week 3 readings in the syllabus or draw on scholarly online resources. The latter must be academic in nature (e.g. from the APUS online library) and not from pop culture and/or commercial websites, blogs, opinion sites, etc.
