Learning Exercise (30 points)
1. (2 points) Based on what you have learned about hemispheric lateralization and split-brain patients (individuals which have had commissurotomies), if the word “pencil” was presented to the right field of vision of a split-brain patient and he/she was asked to report what they had seen, the patient would respond:


 * a) by selecting a pencil with the contralateral hand


 * b) by saying the word “pencil”


 * c) by saying “nothing is there”


 * d) by selecting a pencil with the ipsilateral hand

2. (5 points) Using information from the Wikiversity article on hemispheric language lateralization, answer the following questions:


 * a) (1 point) The left hemisphere is responsible for all aspects of syntax, except parsing. True or false?


 * b) (1 point) What is the structural evidence given to explain the fact that women tend to score higher than men on language-related tasks?


 * c) (3 points) What 3 conclusions did Bryan Woods and Hans-Leukas Teuber draw regarding the reorganization of language ability following brain injury?

3. (5 points) '''Through what anatomical system is the right hemisphere able to understand language? What happens to language ability following a removal of the right hemisphere? In what ways do individuals who have had their right hemisphere removed differ from split-brain patients?'''

4. (3 points) '''What were the symptoms of the patient “Tan” which, when presented to neurologist Paul Broca in 1861, propelled Broca to his theory regarding hemispheric language lateralization? What was Broca’s theory? Based on current methods of assessment, would it still be considered valid today? Why or why not?'''

5. (15 points, 5 points/question) '''The Wikiversity article on hemispheric language lateralization presents several methods of assessing hemispheric language dominance. Based on this information, answer the questions below in 250 words or less:'''


 * a) Which type of study would be best used in order to assess anatomical asymmetry and why?


 * b) Which type of study is most useful in assessing the connection between hemispheric language lateralization and handedness, and why?


 * c) Which factors complicate the use of lesion studies in the assessment of language lateralization?

File Tagging File:Broca.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Broca.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikiversity (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a license of the original authors as well.
