demonstrated lateralised brain functions

• P- Sperry's (and later Micheal Gazzaniga's) pioneering work into the split-brain phenomenon has produced an impressive and sizeable body of research findings , the main conclusion of which appears to be that the left hemisphere is more geared towards analytic and verbal tasks whilst the right is more adept at performing spatial tasks and music
• E- the right hemisphere can only produce rudimentary words and phrases but contributes emotional and holistic content to language
• L- research suggests that the left hemisphere is the analyser whilst the right- hemisphere is the synthesizer- a key contribution to our understanding of brain processes
