Dichotic-listening performance after complete callosotomy: No relief from left-ear extinction by selective attention (2023)
Journal Article
Westerhausen, R., Fabri, M., & Hausmann, M. (2023). Dichotic-listening performance after complete callosotomy: No relief from left-ear extinction by selective attention. Neuropsychologia, 188, Article 108627. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2023.108627

The surgical section of the corpus callosum (callosotomy) has been frequently demonstrated to result in a left-ear extinction in dichotic listening. That is, callosotomy patients report the left-ear stimulus below chance level, resulting in substanti...
