title: [Recognition of visual images by separate hemispheres in conditions of masked blocking of interhemispheric transmission].
abstract: The subjects learned to recognize three figures presented in the left visual hemifield and three figures presented in the right visual hemifield. During presentation of a stimulus, the contralateral hemifield was overlapped by a mask. After the training, recognition of all six figures presented in the right and left visual hemifields, was compared. Each hemisphere recognizes figures which were learned in the corresponding visual hemifield, but the recognition of figures learned in the opposite visual hemifield was poor. Thus, the ability of the hemispheres to act separately in recognizing different sets of visual images, was established.
