Are the dorsal/ventral pathways sufficiently distinct to resolve perceptual theory?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (1):96-97 (2001)
| Abstract | The author argues that the theory of a dorsal/ventral stream for visual processing can be used to reconcile the constructivist and direct perception theories. My commentary discusses neurophysiological and psychophysical studies that run counter to the view. In addition, the central issue of debate between the constructionist and direct perception approaches regarding what is visual information is discussed. | |||||||||
