Interhemispheric transfer of visuomotor conditional learning via the anterior corpus callosum of monkeys.

Journal article

Two experiments examined interhemispheric transfer of learning across the anterior corpus callosum in monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). The animals learned a series of visuomotor conditional discrimination problems for food reward. Within each problem the animals were first trained using one hand to make the motor responses, and were then required to use the opposite hand in order to test for intermanual transfer of the initial learning. In Exp. 1, a group of animals with surgical section of the...
