Research has shown that similar areas of the brain are used to process sensory information during perception and in simulating category representations. What implication(s) does this finding have on our understanding of category knowledge?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What is the distinction between a convergence zone and a higher order convergence zone?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: This finding suggests that processing of a physical stimulus and its corresponding representation are related. Representations are not developed and stored in a specific area of the brain. Instead, representation processing is distributed across the brain using similar perceptual and motor systems.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Convergence zones integrate information within a modality while higher order convergence zones integrate information across modalities.
