What vs Where: Which Direction Is Faster?

It has been well documented that where a visual stimulus is located and what it is are represented and processed through different neural pathways. This paper reports on an experiment that investigated how the where pathway and the what pathway interact by evaluating and comparing the relative efficiency of retrieval in two directions: from what to where and from where to what. Our results show...

These challenges reportedly include lack of job security, too few opportunities to carve out their own interests, fighting to survive in competitive institutions and being perceived as resources rather than as people. These issues have attracted increasing atten...
