This statement is true. In split-brain patients, the left hemisphere is responsible for verbal processing and the right hemisphere is responsible for nonverbal processing. When a picture is flashed to the left visual field, it is processed in the right hemisphere and cannot be verbally identified by the patient. However, the patient can still pick up the object with their left hand because this is processed by the right hemisphere, which controls the left side of the body.
