Moran and Desimone trained monkeys to release a bar when a certain stimulus was

Question

Moran and Desimone trained monkeys to release a bar when a certain stimulus was presented in a certain location. After reward training, neurons responded only when the visual stimuli were in the rewarded location. This experiment illustrates all of the following EXCEPT:

a. neurons can adapt to attend selectively to information in a particular region of its receptive field

b. rewarded actions will bias response patterns in ways that we may not be conscious of

c. neurons in area V4 will always respond when presented with information related to colour and form

d. top-down processes can affect basic visual perception

Please explain why

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is Option C, neurons in area V4 will always respond when presented with information related to colour and form. The experiment does not illustrate Option C because it’s primary focus is to show external rewards can influence monkeys to selectively respond to certain locations. It speaks nothing of colour perception.
