too much to know
A device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering.
The other day when studying for Perception, I came up with the following mnemonic:
DIP VAT
The vowels don't actually stand for anything. The D is for Dorsal Pathway, and the P is for Parietal Lobe. Also, since dip is a verb, this pathway is the "action" pathway. The V is for Ventral Pathway, and the T is for Temporal Lobe. And since vat is a noun, this is the "what" pathway.
In higher-level visual processing, visual stimuli are sent to different areas of the brain for processing in different ways. | ¶ 2:51 p.m.
