In addition to describing movement detection in terms of the environment, researchers have proposed different ways to detect movement from a physiological perspective. The Reichardt detector is one solution. Which of the following is the greatest weakness of the Reichardt detector
A) It only explains motion detection for images that cross the receptors.
B) It only explains how eye movements can be accounted for in motion detection.
C) It only is able to detect lateral movement of stimuli.
D) It operates using excitatory and inhibitory signals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest weakness of the Reichardt detector is that it can only explain motion detection for images that cross the receptors, meaning it cannot account for motion detection in other scenarios.
