- Suppose you learn that Mr. Smith had a stroke. Due to the stroke, his speech is NOT impaired. Based on your understanding of how language is processed in the brain and how the two brain hemispheres operate, your best guess would be that _______. A. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the left side of his visual field and has lost control of the left side of his body. B. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the left side of his visual field and has lost control of the right side of his body. C. Mr. Smith has difficulty seeing the right side of his visual field and has lost control of the right side of his body. D.

- In a syndrome called word blindness, a person loses the ability to read (even single letters), although the person can still see and speak. What is a possible neurological explanation? That is, can you imagine a pattern of brain damage that might produce this result?arrow_forwardThe concept of “labeled lines” states that each nerve input to the brain reports only a particular type of information, such as auditory versus visual information. Does this happen because the nature of the nerve fibers conveying the information is unique or because the nature of the brain location where the signals are received is unique? How do you know this?arrow_forwardOzana was born with cataracts, which made her completely blind. When she was 14 years-old she underwent surgery to remove the cataracts, which allowed visual input to be transmitted to her brain for the first time. However, even though the surgery was a success, Ozana’s vision was never fully functional. A) Describe how the features of neural plasticity might help to explain why Ozana’s vision was not restored. B) Propose one factor that might have increased the chance that Ozana would develop the ability to see, and briefly explain why.arrow_forward
