Some stroke victims lose the capacity to perceive motion but retain the capacity to perceive shapes and colors. Others lose the
capacity to perceive colors but retain the capacity to perceive movement and form. These peculiar visual disabilities best illustrate our normal capacity for sensory adaptation.
Parallel processing is defined as the brain's potential to process the various stimuli of different quality at the same time. This process involves analyzing and distributing the received stimulus into four compartments: <u>shape, color, motion and depth.
</u>
This process also involves assessing and comparing the received stimulus to the stored memory.
<u>Therefore, the visual disabilities in the given example illustrates parallel processing.</u>
