Document Summary

In psych, there are many perennial debates (nature v. nurture, are people inherently evil or good) Two views on these hemispheres: traditional: the right and the left are mirror images of each other. Hemispheric crossover: one hemisphere receives sensory from and sends motor commands to the other side of the body. Visual images that are presented in the left visual field are sent to the right hemisphere for processing. Sounds heard on the right are processed in the left. Hemispheric crossover signals can easily move back and forth over the two hemispheres to get a: corpus callosum allows the hemispheres to interact and share information. Cut the corpus callosum for patients with epilepsy. Asked to look at a black dot in the middle of the screen and the experimenter flashed a spoon either to the right or left of the dot.
