ABSTRACT
Information processing in real space and time is a key issue in right hemisphere performance, as pointed out in Chapter 3. This hemisphere reveals those features of a visual object’s shape that simultaneously characterize it as a whole. It isolates the structural properties and mutual spatial relations of all its parts when forming “right-side” descriptions of the object. The signs of this type—as opposed to logical ones, computated recursively in the left-hemisphere (discussed in Chapter 5)—we call form representations. Right-side whole representations contain information concerning the number and duration of mental actions with an initial object.
