What has traditionally been the main reason for the characterization of the left hemisphere as the “dominant”
hemisphere?
Respuesta
-
evidence that the left hemisphere usually processes complex information
-
evidence that the left hemisphere usually processes language
-
the fact that the majority of people are right-handed

control of the left leg
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
If you present a sound in the right ear, where will that sound be processed first?
Respuesta
-
right temporal lobe
-
left temporal lobe
-
right parietal lobe
-
left parietal lobe
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Because the speech centre is generally located in the left hemisphere of the brain, what would a split-brain patient
be unable to describe or name?
Respuesta
-
an object seen in the left visual field
-
an object felt with the right hand
-
an object seen in the right visual field
-
an object presented directly in front of him or her
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
If you sent the word “banana” to the left hemisphere and the word “cucumber” to the right hemisphere in a
patient with a severed corpus callosum, which of the following would the patient be able to name verbally?
Respuesta
-
both items
-
neither item
-
only the banana
-
only the cucumber
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Imagine that a picture of a spoon is briefly flashed in the left visual field of an individual with a severed corpus
callosum. At the same time, a picture of a cup is briefly flashed in the right visual field. What would this individual
likely say based on Roger Sperry’s work with splitbrain patients?
Respuesta
-
“I saw a spoon resting in a cup.”
-
“I saw a cup.”
-
“I saw a spoon.”
-
“I didn’t see anything.”
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Imagine that a picture of a blue circle is briefly flashed in the left visual field of an individual with a severed corpus
callosum. At the same time, a picture of a red square is briefly flashed in the right visual field. What would this
individual likely say based on Roger Sperry’s work with splitbrain patients?
Respuesta
-
“I saw a blue circle.”
-
“I didn’t see anything.”
-
“I saw a red square.”
-
“I saw a blue circle around a red square.”

Pregunta
Chase is using a single earphone to listen in on a conversation. Based on the research that investigated

put the earphone in his right ear
-
hum lightly to cancel out the background noise
-
close his eyes while he listens to the conversation
-
watch the conversation, in addition to listening
