Objective

Distinguish between visual agnosia and prosopagnosia.
Visual agnosia is an inability to recognize objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision.
Usually results from damage somewhere in the posterior occipital and/or temporal cortex

Prosopagnosia is an inability to recognize faces.
Usually results from damage to the fusiform gyrus of the inferior temporal cortex (especially in the right hemisphere)
Objective

Describe the role of MT and MST in motor perception.
See study guide.
visual agnosia
An inability to recognize objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision
prosopagnosia
An inability to recognize faces
stereoscopic depth perception
The ability to detect depth by differences in what the two eyes see
MT (Area V5)
Area of the temporal lobe that responds to a stimulus moving in a particular direction, almost independently of its size, shape, brightness, or color of the object
MST
Area of the temporal lobe that responds best to expansion, contraction, or rotation of a large visual scene
motion blindness
Ability to see objects but unable to determine whether they are moving or, if so, in which direction or how fast
