According to the proposed hypothesis, graphic characters trigger the
subcortical visual route. The reaction discussed is very weak. Yet, its very
existence has an unusual importance: characters and (occluded) venomous
snakeskin patterns reveal themselves as conflatable. Furthermore, following
tractogra- phic research, a functional segregation of the subcortical pathway is to
be presupposed. Thus, there can’t be a later
dissociation of two stimuli previously associated. The outcomes of
lecture will gradually appear probabilistically (much) more peaceful than encountering a venomous snake, though, and thus a continuous lessening of the reaction is expectable. Here, on one hand,
it is relevant that the subcortical visual pathway goes to the amygdala. The
reactions we describe tap into goal-oriented processes, and they will do that
unfettered. On the other hand, in the case
of characters, since the beginning, fear has been converted into
appetition to a great degree. This process should be fostered in the presence
of light. In this way, luminosity might become a conditioned stimulus for
attraction. In this case, a Pavlovian addiction for light will foster, yet also—from the point of view of
reward feeling—counterbalance the lessening of the stimulation elicited
by characters. The addiction we refer to is one towards light accompanied by
graphic signs. Yet, as opposed to the case of the luminous medium, the
attention captured by the later ones taken for themselves is continuously
reduced.
