for the ames room-second part-viewing through a peephole in the centre- i put so that the visual angle is the same for both corners! if the visual angle is the same we perceive the room as being rectangular-which is very impt!

there was this question, what X ( i forgot his/her name) would have most difficulty in?

I wrote D - dressing or something? Is that right? :/

i also did that - it was the only one that required both sides of the brain to work together i think

[Tashi]

Yeah I got D for that.

apparently its memory-a-according to my teacher! i put d aswell!!!

[Hongld]

I put A, affects memory.
The others didn't seem right to me so I eliminated them all and chose A

Ummm I swear I've read something like a split-brain patient may have trouble coordinating body movements somewhere.

[hawks08]

 right answer was definitely dressing i believe. a hard question but from memory the other answers weren't that applicable. no excellent distractors for that particular question i didn't think

[coolhat]

yeh its a weird qs-maybe they will mark both a and d as correct....

is your teacher a good credible one  or just some crackpot that doesnt know what he/she is talking about?

I was wondering the same thing XD

[hawks08]

i guess when i answered the question i didnt think it through and it as not as obvious as i first thought but the answer has to be d. for example while getting dressed you are analysing info which is common in the left hemisphere. as info can not cross between hemispheres i am not sure how this info would be able to be carried out by the left hand side

Isn't it just like pointing to an identified object by pointing their fingers to it with patients under split-brain surgery?

i spose so but wouldn't there have to be some coordination in the middle? i am really not sure. it seemed like a straight forward question but now i reckon it is about 50/50 for d ora
