Abstract
Interhemispheric transmission times for unstructured visual information were measured in two patients born without the corpus callosum and compared with similar measures for groups of normals. The results support an earlier suggestion (Jeeves, 1965) that lengthened interhemispheric transmission times in acallosals may be one important factor responsible for their reduced efficiency on tasks requiring bimanual perceptuomotor coordination under a speed constraint.

Tests were aimed at determining the extent and kinds of interaction, if any, between the perceptual and mnemonic activities of the separated hemispheres, at detecting differences in performance capacity of the right andLeft visual half systems and at revealing the degree of lateralization in motor responses to right and left visual field stimuli.

The behavioral performances of cats and monkeys following brain bisection have led to the conclusion that each of the surgically separated hemispheres must sense, perceive, learn, and remember quite independently of the other hemisphere.
