Questions -
1. Name the independent and dependent variables used; include all the levels of each variable
2. Are there any methodological flaws or limitations in the experimental design? Explain. (Note that small sample size and lack of diversity of the subjects are not sufficient limitations for this question, as how visual perception works is not expected to vary significantly between individuals, and sample sizes of 3+ subjects are common in psychophysical experiments).
3. How did the experimenters control for possible confounding variables? Explain.
4. Explain the role of the magnocellular and parvocellular streams (from what you learned from lecture or from your textbook). Explain what functions of the streams the researchers seek to test.
5. What did the authors find, and what are the implications of those findings? Relate your answer to a sensation or perception topic that you have learned about in this class.
6. Design an experiment to test whether the parvocellular stream is sensitive to motion processing.
1) What methods would you use? (e.g., describe your stimuli, your task, etc.) Be clear and detailed in your description.
2) What do you expect to find?
3) What would be the implications of your findings? (Try to talk about this with regard to the article and sensation/perception in general).
