75 Differential encoding model Pruning interacts with acuity During development: Visual acuity / contrast sensitivity is poor in infancy, but it improves over time. (e.g. Peterzell et al., 1995; Atkinson et al., 1997) Patchy connectivity matures via pruning & strengthening connections due to visual experience (e.g. Katz & Callaway, 1992; Burkhalter et al., 1993). RH begins maturing earlier than the LH (e.g. Geschwind & Galaburda, 1985; Hellige 1993; Chiron et al., 1997) Katz and Callaway (1992) 38

87 Differential encoding model Need for interhemispheric competition? Original Developmental Weaker lateralization in developmental model than previous work. Interhemispheric competition can amplify effects 41

88 Differential encoding model post-training changes 42

89 Differential encoding model post-training changes RH is specialized; LH is not. 42

90 Differential encoding model Expt #2: Summary We validated the associations between: Shorter connections & lower frequency encoding Longer connections & higher frequency encoding We showed that the model RH was changed from the original, the LH much less so. 43

91 Connectivity Asymmetry Conclusions We postulate that the RH has shorter long-range lateral connections in retinotopic visual areas (V4v / LOC). This connection asymmetry: Can account for many behavioral asymmetries. Leads to a RH bias for encoding low spatial frequency information (though we suggest perhaps only contour information) May appear during typical human development. 44

92 Connectivity Asymmetry Next steps Unify models: replicate all behavioral results in the developmental model. Spatial frequency processing: Is the RH bias specific to contours and configurations, or general to all LSF information? Interhemispheric transfer: What role does it play in development and during central vision? 45
