Hardyck, Curtis; Haapanen, Randy

Evidence gathered from commissurotomy (split-brain) patients and right-hemisphere/left-hemisphere studies on normal intact humans is reviewed and evaluated. Concludes that right-left hemisphere differences reported in normal subjects are small and that there is no scientific basis for any reorganization of curricular, teaching, or testing programs.
