Split-brain patient G.C. is in line at a coffee shop when he witnesses a woman in his right visual field about to trip over an electrical cord on the floor. What happens next?
-Although G.C. knows what is happening, he cannot verbalize information about his right visual field, so the woman trips on the wire.
-Luckily, because the incident is taking place in his right visual field, G.C. is able to warn the woman about the cord before she trips.
-G.C. is unable to recognize the hazard that is taking place in his right visual field, so he makes no attempt to warn the woman, who trips.
-G.C. sees the hazard and is able to verbalize it, but because he has a split brain, he no longer feels a social impulse to help the woman avoid tripping.
-Luckily, because the incident is taking place in his right visual field, G.C. is able to warn the woman about the cord before she trips.
