In the Sperry study what happened when an image was presented to the right visual field?
They could name it
They couldn’t name it
They could draw it with their left hand
They claimed they didn’t see it
In the Sperry study what were 2 of the results when an image was presented to the left visual field?
They could name it
They couldn’t name it
They could draw it with their left hand
What is hemispheric lateralisation?
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviours and processes
All parts of the brain are involved in processing thought and action
Each side of the brain dominates for particular functions e.g left for language
What is Contralateralisation?
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviours and processes
All parts of the brain are involved in processing thought and action
Each side of the brain dominates for particular functions e.g left for language
What is the holistic approach?
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviours and processes
All parts of the brain are involved in processing thought and action
Each side of the brain dominates for particular functions e.g left for language
What is brain localisation?
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Specific areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviours and processes
All parts of the brain are involved in processing thought and action
Each side of the brain dominates for particular functions e.g left for language
Which 2 are evaluations of the Sperry study?
All suffered from Epilepsy so unsure if their brains have already been damaged so not representative
Large sample so representative
No control group to compare to
Field exp so high ecological validity
What type of animal did Lashley remove part of their brain bit by bit to support the holistic approach?
Rat
Mice
Cat
Dog
