PSYC 1100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Occipital Lobe, Opponent Process, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
Opponent-process theory: accounts for phenomena like complementary afterimages, herring proposed that we have two types of colour opponent cells (red-green/blue-yellow, current view of color vision is based on both trichromatic and opponent process theory. Refinement of visual input: rods and cones, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve (1000000, thalamus (lateral posterior area, primary visual area (occipital cortex, dorsal stream, parietal (where?, ventral stream, temporal lobe. What do you see: neurons further from retina serve to continually summate the information received from previous neurons, until organism can make enough sense of input to make a response, higher order neurons are called summator neurons.
