Split-brain monkeys learned several sets of visual discriminations with each hemisphere. Some stimuli, such as photographs of monkey's faces, were intended to favor mechanisms similar to those of man's nondominant hemisphere, while other tasks, requiring sequential comparison of visual stimuli, should favor mechanisms similar to ones in the dominant hemisphere of man. The tests uniformly demonstrated hemispheric equivalence for solving all types of problems, regardless of handedness, sex, or side of surgical retraction. A review of the literature also offers little support for the concept of hemispheric specialization in infra-human mammals although a few leads still need to be explored before abandoning the hope of finding the roots of human cerebral dominance in monkeys.
