Which of the following statements about split-brain patients is INACCURATE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain patients, who have had their corpus callosum severed to treat severe epilepsy, exhibit unique behaviors due to the disconnection between the two hemispheres of their brain. They can name objects touched with the right hand because the left hemisphere, which controls language, receives sensory information from the right hand. They cannot name objects in the left visual field because this information is processed by the right hemisphere, which is isolated from the language centers in the left hemisphere. They can indeed name objects touched with the right hand and cannot name objects touched with the left hand for similar reasons. However, the statement that they can write with the left hand (C) is inaccurate without further context. While they might be able to write with the left hand, the ability to write coherently or to write specific words requested during a test might be impaired, especially if it involves language processing, which is typically a function of the left hemisphere. The accuracy of this statement depends on the specific task being asked of the patient, but in the context of split-brain research, it's generally understood that complex language tasks, including writing, are compromised.
