Lecture 31 Flashcards
1
Q
Split brain patients can still perform well learned tasks, why is this?
A
Potential that these processes are subcortical
2
Q
What did JW display in the experiments?
A
A speed accuracy trade off
3
Q
Describe the results from the reaction time tasks and accuracy between JW, VJ, and the control
A
NOVEL tasks = Control and JW were equally fast. VJ was slower
ACCURACY tasks = JW and VJ had lower accuracy than the control
4
Q
What part of the brain is required in learning novel items?
A
The corpus callosum
