Question

1. based on what is known about split - brain subjects, if a man with a split brain was blindfolded and handed a fork in his left hand, what would the response be?

he would know it is used for eating but would not be able to form the word fork.
he would feel know what it is used for, but he would be able to articulate the word fork.
he would know what is used for and be able to articulate the word fork.
he would not know the name of the item, nor would he know what it is used for.

Explanation:

In split-brain patients, the left hand is controlled by the right hemisphere, which handles tactile recognition and functional knowledge (knowing the fork's use for eating) but lacks the language abilities (articulating the word "fork") that are centered in the left hemisphere.

Answer:

He would know it is used for eating but would not be able to form the word fork.
