The "what" versus "where" distinction is supported by single-cell recording studies showing that neurons in the ________ lobes have receptive fields that are almost always located in the fovea, where high-acuity vision takes place.
A)anterior occipital
B)inferior temporal
C)posterior parietal
D)superior temporal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "what" versus "where" distinction in visual processing is supported by findings that neurons in the inferior temporal lobes are primarily involved in object recognition (the "what"), and these neurons have receptive fields in the fovea, which is the area of the retina responsible for high-acuity vision.
