Abstract
A recent issue of this journal reported an interesting experiment by Filbey & Gazzaniga (1969). A condensed version of the original was subsequently reprinted (Filbey & Gazzaniga, 1970) in a widely circulated publication of the National Institute of Mental Health. Filbey and Gazzaniga implied that “splitting the normal brain with reaction time” was a new strategy conceivable only on the groundwork provided by the split–brain studies of Sperry and Gazzaniga, which the authors cited.
