If the word superiority effect did not exist (i.e., comparable RTs between the two conditions), this would be evidence most consistent with:
a. top-down processing d. bottom-up processing
b. Geon theory e. none of the above
c. configurational processing
2. Of options A, B, C, and D, which of the following is TRUE regarding object recognition?
a. The dorsal stream is most strongly engaged when you are trying to identify what an object is
b. Recognition of faces engages a completely unique area of the brain
c. Feature integration theory suggests that attention is needed for successful feature binding
d. Visual agnosia is classified as an impairment of the dorsal stream of processing
e. Options A, B, C and D are all false

1. Explain how an example like the Door Study provides evidence for the Grand Illusion of Perception. In your answer, ensure you clarify why an striking example like the Door Study is often necessary to convince the typical person that the Grand Illusion of Perception is indeed possible. (8)

2. Tanaka & Farah (1993) studied face and house perception to examine how we process images (i.e., by their parts or as a whole). Some of the results from this experiment can be found in the figure below. Identify the two most important findings we observe here, and clarify where you extracted them from the graph. Briefly comment on the value of directly comparing performance on faces and houses. (10)
