Intermanual somesthetic transfer in split-brain rhesus monkeys.

Abstract

Section of the corpus callosum prevented the normal transfer of somesthetic discrimination habits from the trained to the untrained hand in 8 out of 12 tests. "The general testing procedure of reaching out and feeling the two test objects before selecting transferred consistently . . . whereas the specific pattern of finger movements used in testing failed to transfer."
