Document Summary
Memory and memory disorders-- textbook chapter 5 & 6-- lecture 9. Hemispheres organized controlaterally-- meaning each hemisphere processes information from the opposite side (ear, visual eld, hand, etc. ) Speci c brain areas appear to be involved with speci c perceptual and cognitive functions. Grammar- rule based system that humans have for ordering words to facilitate communication. Lexicon- the minds dictionary where words are associated with different meanings. A split brained patient performed this task in which the prime was shown for 100ms to either the right or left visual eld. 400ms later the target letter appeared in either the left or right visual. Results showed no evidence of letter priming in the left visual eld but clear evidence of priming in the right visual eld-- this suggests a de cit in letter recognition prohibiting access to the parallel processing mechanism. Therefore there are two lexicons, one in each hemisphere; both organized differently and accessed in different ways.
