Schematic models of dorsal and ventral stream function. A. The current dominant model [1], which holds that object- and action-oriented processes for sensorimotor integration and “understanding” are organized differentially, with action understanding part of the dorsal sensorimotor stream and object “understanding” part of the ventral stream. B. A more conventional model in which object- and action-oriented processes for sensory-motor integration and understanding are organized similarly. Both models assume that semantic information from the ventral stream can modulate sensorimotor processes in the dorsal stream.
