Diminished ability to integrate emotional responses
Improved spatial awareness
2. In a study involving split-brain patients, how did the right hemisphere
respond to visual stimuli when the left hemisphere was unable to articulate
the experience?
The right hemisphere displayed emotional reactions despite the
lack of verbal communication.
The right hemisphere was unable to process any visual information.

The brain can sometimes compensate for injuries.
Brain parts are flexible and can complete a variety of tasks.
Certain brain areas remain dormant until they are needed.
, Certain brain areas have very specific functions.
