This investigation examined non-verbal problem-solving abilities. Two groups of visual-spatial puzzles were administered to 10 left-CVA patients, 10 right-CVA patients and 10 normal subjects. The puzzles were divided into named and unnamed groups to examine the effects of non-language stimuli on test performance. Results indicated significant differences, with right-CVA patients having the greatest difficulty on all puzzles, left-CVA patients having the greatest difficulty with unnamed puzzles and making errors on some named puzzles and normal subjects making significantly fewer errors but having a response pattern similar to the left-CVA patients. The findings imply that, in terms of resource allocation theory, when the task utilized the competence of the left hemisphere for naming in conjunction with the visual-spatial competence of the right hemisphere, each hemisphere's resources were utilized and scores on the puzzles increased. |
