Pregunta
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

sensations from the right side of the body
-
vision from the left eye

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
hemispheric specialization in intact brains, what could we suggest in order for Chase to recognize the words he

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
