Sheila has an easy time naming items that she sees on her right side, but has a very difficult time naming items that she sees on her left side. Which of the following is most likely to cause this problem with integrating information?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus callosum is the part of the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres. If it is severed, information cannot easily be integrated between the two sides of the brain, leading to difficulty with tasks such as naming items seen on both sides. Option B is incorrect because brain imaging with fMRI would not cause this problem. Option C is incorrect because damage to Broca's area affects language production, not integration of information. Option D is incorrect because the cerebellum is involved in motor coordination and would not affect integration of visual information.
