A03: Strength standardised procedure
A03: But not all was standardised, ppt. Variable (degree to which corpus callosum was severed)
A03: Limitation small/unusual sample
E.g. This is due to only 11 participants with a history of epileptic seizures taking part in the study.
extrapolate -> low statistical power -> pop val w out epilepsy
A03: Strength standardised procedure
For instance, he used blindfolds for all participants to cover their visual fields
high control -> replicate -> more consistent -> empirical -> firm
A03: But not all was standardised, ppt. Variable (degree to which corpus callosum was severed)
Sperry’s study some of the patients had greater disconnection of their hemispheres than others due to each corpus callosum being severed to different degrees.
.
lacks iv ->c+f -> relation between 2 hemispheres perhaps -> to what extent
What’s it called when the corpus callosum is removed?
commissurotomy
