Answer:
The answer is:
verbally report that a cat was seen
write the word cat using their left hand
Explanation:
"Split-brain" is<em> a condition of having "two brains" in one body.</em> This is also known as "callosal syndrome." This happens when a person experiences seizure and in order to control it, the "corpus callosum" (divides the lobes into left and right hemispheres) is being severed. Once it is severed, the hemispheres will function as a <em>separated brain.</em> This treatment is only done as a last resort.
The person who has a split-brain will have two separate perceptions and impulses of things.
In the situation above, the patient is shown a picture of a cat in the right visual field. This means that the image of the cat will be sent to his left hemisphere. Left hemisphere is more active when it comes to the production of speech, thus the patient will be able to verbally report that a cat was seen. (thus, this explains the answer).
Since the left hemisphere is also responsible for "writing," then he can also write the word "cat" using his left hand. (thus, this explains the answer)
