• Blindsight
• Consciousness

The split-brain procedure involves the cutting of this

• Cerebral Cortex
• Cerebellum
• Corpus Callosum
• Caudate Nucleus

Hemisphere that is associated with Verbal and Mathematical abilities

• Evaluating perceptual tasks
• Making inferences
• Speech

In order to estimate trait heritability, researchers are most likely to make use of:
