Explain how the object discrimination problem and the landmark discrimination problem help show what pathways in the brain are responsible for different cognitive abilities.How does damage to different lobes of the brain make these tasks more difficult,and what pathways are involved?

The pathway leading from the striate cortex to the parietal lobe is known as the

In the "finding faces in a landscape" demonstration in your text,once you perceive a particular grouping of rocks as a face,it is often difficult not to perceive them this way.This is due to

Human postal workers are much more successful at reading unclear addresses,most likely because of
