The Focus on Neuroscience: Vision, Experience, and the Brain Box

The Focus on Neuroscience: Vision, Experience, and the Brain box describes the visual experience of Mike May, who regained partial sight in one eye after 40 years of blindness. The text described the fact that Mike was able to quickly identify moving objects, but had trouble identifying complex objects that were stationery, including faces. As your text explains, neuroscientists who worked with Mike believe that Mike's experience reflects the fact that:

A) motion perception pathways develop earlier than face and object recognition.
B) motion perception pathways develop later than face and object recognition.
C) the ability to perceive moving objects requires more cognitive effort than the ability to perceive complex but stationary objects.
D) Mike was able to combine visual signals from both eyes to identify moving objects.
