Retinal versus physical stimulus size as determinants of visual perception in simultanagnosia
Patients with simultanagnosia following bilateral parieto-temporo-occipital brain damage show a characteristic impairment of global gestalt perception, while their perception of individual objects or elements remains intact. For instance, when shown 'hierarchical' stimuli comprising a larger global object (e.g. a large letter) made up from smaller components (e.g. multiple small letters), they ...
متن کاملVisual perception and stimulus orientation in cattle
The pupil in the eye of adult cattle is oval under contraction with the long axis nearly horizontal. Based on simple optophysical facts it is hypothesised that visual perception in such eyes is different for stimuli with vertically-separated details rather than stimuli with horizontally-separated details. This hypothesis was tested with three adult dairy bulls using an operant conditioning tech...
متن کاملPhylogeny versus body size as determinants of food web structure.
Food webs are the complex networks of trophic interactions that stoke the metabolic fires of life. To understand what structures these interactions in natural communities, ecologists have developed simple models to capture their main architectural features. However, apparently realistic food webs can be generated by models invoking either predator-prey body-size hierarchies or evolutionary cons...
متن کاملSize constancy in infants: 4-month-olds' responses to physical versus retinal image size.
This study tested whether 4-month-old infants respond primarily to objects' physical or retinal image sizes. In the study's main experiment, infants were habituated to either a 6-cm-diameter disk at a distance of 18 cm or a 10-cm disk at 50 cm. They were then given 2 test trials in which the 6- and 10-cm disks were presented side by side at a distance of 30 cm. For each infant, one test object ...
متن کاملGlobal perception in simultanagnosia is not as simple as a game of connect-the-dots
Simultanagnosia is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a restriction of visuospatial attention. In addition, patients are able to identify local elements of a scene, but not the global whole. This may be due to a failure to scan and assemble local elements into a global whole (i.e. connect-the-dots). We monitored the eye movements of a simultanagnosic patient while she identified loc...
