11 Psych-Gage

What were Roger Sperry's split-brain experiments primarily focused on?

• Studying the effects of brain injuries on language processing

• Investigating the differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain

• Analysing the effects of neurotransmitter imbalances on cognitive functions

• Exploring the impact of sensory deprivation on neural development

Which of the following tasks was NOT used in Sperry's experiments to study the functions of the split brain?

• Visual perception tasks

• Language comprehension tasks

• Motor coordination tasks

• Tactile sensation tasks

What did Sperry's split-brain experiments reveal about language processing in the brain?

• Both hemispheres are equally involved in language processing

• Language processing primarily occurs in the left hemisphere

• Language processing primarily occurs in the right hemisphere

• Language processing is exclusively dependent on the corpus callosum

Which hemisphere of the brain was typically better at recognizing visual stimuli presented to the left visual field in Sperry's experiments?

• Left hemisphere

• Right hemisphere

• Both hemispheres showed equal ability

• Neither hemisphere could recognize the stimuli

What phenomenon did Sperry observe when presenting different stimuli to each hemisphere separately in split-brain patients?

• Hemispheric rivalry

• Contralateral inhibition

• Hemispheric specialization

• Bilateral integration

Which task did split-brain patients typically perform better with their left hand (controlled by the right hemisphere) compared to their right hand (controlled by the left hemisphere)?

• Writing

• Drawing

• Solving math problems

• Speaking

What are the two branches of the nervous system?

• Central and Peripheral

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

What is the PNS made up of?

• All the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord

• Brain and Spinal Cord

• Central and Peripheral

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

What are the two branches of the PNS?

• Autonomic and Somatic

• Central and Peripheral
