Goodale & Westwood
- combining
results from different types of studies/experiments/methods is good
- what it
would be like to have only one of the visual systems?
- connection/interaction
between the two systems
- development
and changes in these systems
- evolution
Ð which one is more essential?
- association
between visual object perception and language?
- ventral
stream is involved in advanced movement preparation and memory-driven
actions. what role this plays in flashbacks and such in PTSD / take a picture of someone's brain
and go, yep that's PTSD/ADHD/diagnosis
- SRD:
dorsal stream functioning first or ventral?
- subconscious
variables influential in how we perceive the world in general
- other
species might only have one visual system?
- "stronger"
dorsal system in athletes?
- Functioning
is different only when rapid response is required
- paradigm
shifts
Ostrovksy,
Andalman, Sinha
- What do
"dense cataract formations" look like in babies? Can you tell
looking at someone if they are aphakic?
- What was her
experience like regaining her vision after the surgery?
- contradicted
everything I have learned about plasticity and critical periods
- being cautious in our interpretation of
animal research.
- Blindfolding:
the brain
reorganized itself in just a few days, Taub
- her level
of vision prior to her surgery?
- late sight
onset differs from a newborn's experience with sight
- Instead of
being happy, in the long run, he feels this is a disability to him to be
able to see.
- Was her
dorsal stream more affected by 12 years of blindness?
- Control
subjects, while SRD
only had vision in one eye
- Language deprivation and
critical periods
- Emotional development and
critical periods
- she
performed better on some tests than others.
- train
specialists to help them with the transitional period
- effect
of congenital
blindness on children's cognitive development
- how other
areas in the brain and sensory capacities are magnified
- tests
weren't hard enough, even for SRD
- if the
visual cortex wasn't being used for the first 12 years of her life, what
was going on back there all that time?
- SRD's
progress from the time of her surgery?
- Recovery
after 50 years?
- insurance
companies and policy makers
- what can
we learn from case studies
