Term
In which theory of probability summation are the inputs from each eye not combined but the central decision making process has access to both monocular inputs?
Definition

1)  Independence theory

 

Term
In which theory of probability summation is the increase in sensitivity using two eyes as opposed to one greater than what would be predicted by probability alone?
Definition
Interaction theory
Term
What three stimulus characteristics must occur for probability summation to occur?
Definition

1)  stimuli must be synchronous in both time and space when presented to both eyes

2)  Stimuli must be imaged on corresponding points or on points within Panum's area

3)  Stimuli must be detected by each eye with an interocular delay of no more than 100ms.

Term
What can we expect about a patients binocular vision if he exhibits a lack of binocular summation over a large range of stimulus conditions?
Definition
We can expect binocular vision problems that result from a lack of fusion also exist
Term
What is the term for the fact that under binocular conditions when you are receiving more reflected light off the pencil, you actually see the pencil as dimmer if one eye is inhibited by a neutral density filter, than you would see if you viewed the pencil only with the uninhibited eye?
Definition
Fechner's paradox
Term
Are there more binocularly driven cells in V1 or V2?
Definition
V2 aka Broadman area 18, V1 would be Broadman area 17
Term
Do V1 neurons code for subjective or tilted contours?
Definition
V1 codes for tilted contours while V2 codes for subjective contours. 
Term

Do subjective contours or tilted contours produce stronger binocular aftereffects?

Definition
Subjective contours because they're in V2 which has more  binocular cells.
Term
What exhibits more interocular transfer, random dot moving displays or moving grating stimuli?
Definition
Random dot moving displays because MT cortex, Broadman area 18 & 19 is responsible for motion processing and contains a lot of binocular cells.
Term
Are excitatory or inhibitory binocular interactions preserved in amblyopia?
Definition
inhibitory interactions
Term
Name three abnormal binocular interactions in stereoblind strabismic patients?
Definition

1.  No subthreshold summation

2.  Flicker thresholds do not change

3.  No subthreshold summation

Term
Do anisometropic or strabismic amblyopes exhibit more binocular summation impairment?
Definition
Strabismic amblyopes exhibit more binocular impairment than anisometropic amblyopes.
Term
Which type of amblyopia produces only central visual field loss of interocular transfer of Contrast Threshold Elevation?
Definition

Strabismic, anisometropic amblyopia leads to peripheral as well as central visual field loss of interocullar transfer of Contrast Threshold Elevation.
