The Boundaries of Hemispheric Processing in Visual Pattern Recognition

Abstract

This paper discusses some of the positions, theories, and experiments which compose the adaptive hemispheric processing area. This discussion addresses some of the basic questions of human learning and relates some of the assumptions that are critical for interpreting research findings. The paper begins by looking at some theoretical perspectives, then looks at some of the author's own research application in hemispheric processing within the area of face recognition and attentional processes. A neuro-cognitive systems model of results is proposed to interpret findings. Keywords:Brain hemispheric asymmetry; Visual recognition; Learning and cognition; Cerebral cortex; Human performance.
