Information Processing and the Cerebral Hemispheres

  • Chapter
Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 2))

Abstract

An information-processing approach to cerebral function is not altogether new. It would not be distorting the truth too much to say that the initial functional wiring diagrams of the cortex that appeared in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries bear more than a superificial resemblance to the flow diagrams that are still in vogue in many circles in cognitive psychology (see Fig. 1). Admittedly, some of the early neurological “localizers” or “diagram makers” had, by our standards, unsophisticated views of psychology and a simplistic notion of the physiological and philsophical problems regarding the localization of function in the nervous system. In fact, some of the functional subsystems, such as writing, reading, and music centers, which they localized in the cortex may remind us more of phrenology than of current information-processing systems. Nevertheless, if we ignore the surface details and terminology of those early functional-anatomical models and attend, instead, to the general assumptions concerning the organization of cognitive processes that underlie them, we will notice a kinship to modern information-processing theory. The early neurologists viewed cognition as the outcome of interactions among functionally and structurally separable subsystems whose operations, to put it in today’s terms, transform, decode, classify, interpret, store, retrieve, and produce information. The purpose of their enterprise was to fractionate cognitive behavior into the appropiate subsystems, describe their mode of operation, and determine the nature of their interaction. These assumptions and program of research apply equally well to proponents of the information-processing approach to cognition.

This chapter is dedicated to the memory of Jack Catlin who died in 1976 at the age of 32. We began our research on information processing and hemispheric specialization together as graduate students (Moscovitch and Catlin, 1970). Although we had never formally collaborated again, Jack remained an excellent colleague and critic and a fine and loyal friend

The research conducted and reported in this chapter was supported by a National Research Council of Canada Grant No. A 8347.
