Here are some sample questions for the mid-semester assignment (exam). The real take-home assignment will comprise a subset of three (3) of these questions. You will be required to write a one to two page answer to each of the three questions (word count approximately 500 words per question).

Note that the end-of-semester exam will be a multiple choice exam.

What can visual illusions tell us about visual processing?
What is "green"? Is it a property of the object, the light or the environment?
How does visual information reach the visual cortex? To what extent does this explain how we see?
What is a visual receptive field? How might receptive fields contribute to visual information processing?
What distinctions can be drawn between sensory coding, perceptual coding and cognition?
What role do eye movements play in visual perception?
What is the relevance of visual anatomy and visual physiology (the neurobiology of vision) to psychology?
What advantages are conferred by having two frontally-directed eyes? What are the costs of this arrangement?

And the questions are:

Question 2 (What is green ...)
Question 7 (What is the relevance of visual anatomy ...)
Question 8 (What advantages are conferred ...)
