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.
