Answer to Question 1

Answer: Examples will vary. However, an initial visual image is formed in the occipital lobe. Feature detection extracts meaningful features (occipital, temporal, and parietal lobes). Statistical patterns in the temporal lobe become active through conjunctive neurons which link back to the image and feature representations to form a multilevel representation of a scene.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Some students may attempt to answer this question by highlighting similar features. However, more space is devoted in the text to statistical patterns. If students answer this way, they should note that each type of dog shares part of the same statistical pattern. The shared pattern links these individual members into the dog category.
