Abstract
Bykov and Speransky (1924) demonstrated that salivary conditioning to unilateral tactile stimulation of the flank of a dog could be lateralised by surgical transection of the corpus callosum. After commissurotomy, a response conditioned to stimulation of the left side could not be elicited by stimulation of the right side. Apart from this early study, there have been no reports of the successful lateralisation of classical conditioning, but it would seem that ‘split brain’ studies might be powerful methods for an analysis of the mechanisms of such learning.
