The nervous system encodes the fact that two or more attributes (e.g., a vertical line and its movement right to left) are bound together by way of __________.
A) selection thorough orientation
B) neural synchrony
C) perceptual grouping
D) perceptual segregation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural synchrony refers to the coordinated firing of neurons in different regions of the brain, which allows for the binding of different attributes into a single percept. In this case, the neurons responsible for processing the vertical line and its movement are synchronized, allowing the brain to perceive them as a single, unified object. Perceptual grouping refers to the process by which different visual elements are grouped together based on their similarity or proximity, but it does not explain how they are bound together into a single percept. Perceptual segregation, on the other hand, refers to the process by which different visual elements are separated from each other, rather than bound together. Finally, selection through orientation does not appear to be a relevant process for explaining how different attributes are bound together in perception.
