Question

1. A right-handed split-brain patient is asked to assemble blocks to match a pattern located in the upper left-hand corner. If they are asked to do this using their right hand, they will: have a very difficult time performing the task. not understand the instructions. be able to perform the task easily. refuse to perform the task. 2. Active touch information, or sensory information from one side of the body going to the opposite hemisphere, is often called: contralateral innervation. contralateral information. corpus callosum. haptic information. 3. It appears as though the right hemisphere is responsible for _____ tasks. spatial language academic interpersonal 4. Jake is looking at a bowling ball that is located to his left. The image of the bowling ball will go to the _____ half of the retina in both of his eyes, and then go to the _____ hemisphere. left; left left; right right; right right; left 5. Jane's left hand movements are controlled by the right hemisphere in her brain. This is called: corpus callosum. contralateral information. haptic information. contralateral innervation. 6. Juan has had his corpus callosum cut. When he touches something with his right hand, what happens? Both sides feel it. He cannot feel it. His right side feels it. His left side feels it. 7. Many motor and sensory functions are primarily controlled by the: left hemisphere. right hemisphere. opposite hemisphere. right and left hemisphere. 8. Most right-handed split-brain patients can name objects that have been placed in _____ hand. neither either their right their left 9. Owen is looking at something in the middle of his visual field. The image goes to: both hemispheres. the right hemisphere. neither hemisphere. the left hemisphere. 10. Right-handed split-brain patients have a difficult time performing block construction tasks using their right hand because their: haptic information is lacking. corpus callosum has been cut. left hemisphere is poor at spatial skills. right hemisphere is poor at spatial skills. 11. Samantha is looking at an orange that is located to her right. The image of the orange will go to the _____ half of the retina in both of her eyes, and then go to the _____ hemisphere. right; left left; right left; left right; right 12. The right hemisphere performs better at: language skills. counting. reading words. recognizing faces. 13. The two sides of the brain are connected by the: contralateral information. contralateral innervation. corpus callosum. haptic information. 14. Visual information from the left visual field will go to the: haptic section. corpus callosum. left hemisphere. right hemisphere. 15. Visual information from the right visual field will go to the: left hemisphere. corpus callosum. haptic section. right hemisphere. 16. What is the role of the corpus callosum? It surrounds the brain stem. It protects the brain. It connects the various lobes of the brain. It transfers information from one hemisphere to the other. 17. When information has to cross our corpus callosum, we respond _____ when the information does not cross the corpus callosum. faster than the opposite way as slower than the same as 18. Which BEST describes the brain? The brain is surrounded by the corpus callosum. The brain is shaped like a peanut. The brain can be divided into two hemispheres. The brain can be sectioned into six lobes. 19. Which section of the brain controls language? both the left and right hemispheres corpus callosum left hemisphere right hemisphere 20. Who conducted the first experiments using split-brain patients? Roger Sperry Erik Erikson Henry Harlow Albert Bandura 1. A right-handed split-brain patient is asked to assemble blocks to match a pattern located in the upper left-hand corner. If they are asked to do this using their right hand, they will: have a very difficult time performing the task. not understand the instructions. be able to perform the task easily. refuse to perform the task.

Explanation / Answer

1.

The right handed split a brain patient cannot do the task with right hand because the task requires spatial recognition and the left hemisphere that controls the right hand lacks it.

Answer. Option 1. have a very difficult time performing the task.

2.

The sensory,motor and cognition information from one side of the body to opposite side of brain hemisphere through corpus callosum is called contralateral information.

Answer Option 2. Contralateral information.

3.

The right hemisphere of brain controls the left side of the body. This hemisphere of brain is associated with artistic and creative part of an individual. It is good at spatial recognition.

Answer Option 1. Spatial

4.

The left side of each eye gets the image from the right visual field and sends the neural signal to left hemisphere. Everything on the right goes to the left hemisphere.

Answer. Option 4. right;left

5.
