Exam Preview for 37548: Auditory Visual Interaction and Similaritie

Auditory Visual Interaction and Similarities, presented in partnership with Salus University

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. In the auditory system, information from the two ears is first combined in the superior olive. In the visual system, information from the two eyes is first combined in the: Thalamus Primary Visual Cortex Midbrain Brainstem
2. Which of the following statements concerning the retina is correct? Rods and cones are evenly distributed across the retina The fovea contains no cones Cones are concentrated in periphery No photoreceptors can be found in the optic disk
3. In the cortex, the ventral processing stream is primarily involved with which of these functions? Spatial analysis Motion perception Object and pattern identification Visual control of movement
4. Following hearing restoration with a cochlear implant, area FAES comes to primary process which sensory modality? Audition Smell Somatosensation Vision
5. The McGurk Effect demonstrates that: Accurate sound localization depends on the pinna Visual attention is critical in order to determine the “gist” of a visual scene The perception of speech is affected by both auditory and visual stimulation A child’s hearing develops before vision
6. Cutting the optic tract would result in which functional consequence? Vision loss in the contralateral visual hemifield Complete blindness Tunnel vision Vision loss in the lower half of the world
7. Which statement concerning the auditory and visual systems is correct? Space is an inherent property of both systems Both systems must determine “what” and “where” a stimulus is in the world The auditory system is much slower than the visual system Much more processing occurs in the cochlea than in the retina
8. The condition of visual neglect is commonly localized to which cortex? Parietal cortex of the left hemisphere Frontal cortex of the left hemisphere Parietal cortex of the right hemisphere Frontal cortex of the right hemisphere
9. At which location in the brain do audiovisual interactions commonly occur? Inferior Colliculus Superior Colliculus Superior Olivary Nucleus Medial Geniculate Nucleus
10. Following the hearing loss in the cat, area FAES comes to primary process which sensory modality? Audition Smell Somatosensation Vision
