It is important to get into the habit of first completing the unit Reading and then completing the learning activities before focusing on your graded Assignment. Learning activities are non-graded and will be aligned to content you will address in your assignment. As you learned from the Reading and Discussion, individual areas of the brain coordinate to create and use attention. There are theories of attention that attempt to explain how these different brain areas communicate to send and receive messages. Here is your opportunity to explain the role of the visual system in attention, focusing on the parietal lobes. This understanding is important to working with children, teens, or adults in mental health and/or addiction treatment. This assignment measures your understanding of the correlation between visual systems and attention. This week you will complete a 2-3-page expository paper exploring the role of the parietal lobe in visual remapping and attentional processing. Explore the role of the parietal lobe in visual remapping and attentional processing. Discuss the importance of what and where in this process. Explain how the Bottleneck theory is important in inattentional and change blindness.Show more
