	have a very difficult time performing the task.
	not understand the instructions.
	be able to perform the task easily.
	refuse to perform the task.

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.

It appears as though the right hemisphere is responsible for _____ tasks.

	spatial
	language
	academic
	interpersonal

Solutions

Expert Solution

Right-handed split-brain patients have a difficult time performing block construction tasks using their right hand because their corpus callosum has been cut.

Correct option is have a very difficult time performing the task.

Active touch information, or sensory information from one side of the body going to the opposite hemisphere, is often called haptic information.

It appears as though the right hemisphere is responsible for spatial tasks.

Jake is looking at a bowling ball that is located to his left. The image of the bowling ball will go to the right half of the retina in both of his eyes, and then go to the right hemisphere.

Jane's left-hand movements are controlled by the right hemisphere in her brain. This is called: contralateral innervation.

Juan has had his corpus callosum cut. When he touches something with his right hand, what happens?

His left side feels it.

Many motor and sensory functions are primarily controlled by the:

opposite hemisphere.

Most right-handed split-brain patients can name objects that have been placed in their right hand.
