In the parallel pathways account of spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity, the sustained channel:
A) Is the most sensitive channel at low spatial frequencies
B) Is characterised by responses in the parvo division of the visual pathway
C) Is the most sensitive channel high temporal frequencies
D) Conveys information about movement

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sustained channel is characterised by responses in the parvo division of the visual pathway, which is responsible for processing information about color, fine detail, and sustained or stationary stimuli. It is not the most sensitive channel at low spatial or high temporal frequencies, nor does it convey information about movement.
