Ok... that makes so much more sense. Thank you for a really good visual and auditory explanation 👍🏼

[saranajafi]

do we need to learn 3 evaluation points each for hemispheric lateralisation and split-brain research, or just three in total for that sub-topic?

[daisyhudson]

Dude I finally understand sperry’s research thank you so much!!!!

Hi sir, can we get a 16 marker on hemispheric lateralisation and if we do then can we use ao3 points from localisation of function or split-brain research?

[redroses]

Is the horizontal row of lights not part of the procedure, where they flashed the patients right visual field and left VF, or is that the same procedure as the one as you have stated ?

[ellafaughnan]

When completing a 16 marker on this topic do we just evaluate the research or evaluate the theory as well? For example, Nielsen et al (2013) found no dominance when using hemispheres.

[scarlettalexaaa]

In an outline would we include all of the variations as in the saying words, drawing, composite words and the fruit one? or just focus on one or two in more depth?

hi sir, i'm quite confused on that if the corpus calusum is severed or destroyed how is both hemispheres still connected. on a normal person where corpus collosum is still intact is both hempishere conntect to one another
