Effect of Agenesis and damage of Corpus Callosum on Visual Memory

Earlier studies suggested that damage to the right hemisphere leads to cognitive impairment in spatial working memory, but recent studies show that the right hemisphere is not required for visual priming as evaluated on fragment completion or stem completion tasks with a single potential completion. The lack of specialized emotional processing in the Left Hemisphere may explain why the influences of Right Hemisphere presentation on memory for visual specificity conversed with emotion but not the effects of Left Hemisphere presentation on memory for comprehension information. According to the current study, the discrepancies were influenced by different retrieval tasks used. Specifically, the right hemisphere isn't required for visual priming as analyzed by fragment completion or stem completion tasks with a single possible completion. Damage to the right hemisphere, on the other hand, disrupts visual priming for word stems with multiple completions. This is a literature review that focuses on effect damage to the right hemisphere and its role in disruption of visual priming for word stems with multiple completions. In the absence of the anterior sections of the corpus callosum, visual working memory continues to remain unified. This indicates that visual working memory is not housed in the frontal cortex and/or is not unified via direct callosal connections between the frontal cortices.
