Which Statement Accurately Describes the Merits of Different Receptive Field

question 45

Multiple Choice

Which statement accurately describes the merits of different receptive field properties?

• A) Having small receptive fields allows for more precision, but because more receptors are needed it increases overall energy costs.
• B) Having large receptive fields allows for more precision, but because the area of responsiveness is larger, it increases the body's energy costs.
• C) Having small receptive fields allows for more precision, smaller body surfaces, and decreased energy costs overall.
• D) Having large receptive fields allows for more precision, larger body surfaces, and decreased energy costs overall.
