What is neuroplasticity? - correct answer the ability of the nervous system to
change in response to experience or the environment.
What did Hubel and Wiesel discover? - correct answer The structure of the visual
cortex. They found that the left ocular dominance columns were stimulated when an animal used its left
eye, and the right ocular dominance columns were stimulated when it used its right eye.
What did Hirsch and Spinelli do? - correct answer They raised kittens in a mask so
that one eye saw vertical stripes and the other one horizontal.
The neurons in each eye adapted to specific orientations and became monocular
What was the aim of Blakemore and Cooper (1970) - correct answer To investigate
the development of the primary visual cortex and find out if orientation selectivity are innate or learned
What was Blakemore and Cooper's sample? - correct answer Kittens (studied from
birth)
2 were studied for neurophysiological effects
What method did Blakemore and Cooper use? - correct answer Lab Experiment
with an Independent Measures design
What was the IV in Blakemore and Cooper (1970)? - correct answer Whether the
kittens were reared in a horizontal or a vertical environment?
What was the DV in Blakemore and Cooper (1970)? - correct answer The behaviour
of the kittens in a normal environment
A physiological investigation of the direction of orientation of neurons in the visual cortex
