This is another example of a test that can be done with a split brain patient (for more information about this, see this post). They will look at a half picture of a child on the right (left hemisphere) and a woman on the left (right hemisphere). When asked whom they saw, they will only be able to tell you the picture on the right, as the left hemisphere has language. However, when asked to point to the image they saw, their left hand (right hemisphere) can point to the image on the left. This is akin to the word task, but done with facial recognition (which is a specialized process that occurs in the fusiform face area of the temporal lobe).
