A definite relation is shown between interhemispheric transfer and speed of learning. Split-brain cats were trained in a variety of discriminations, and the success or failure of interhemispheric transfer was evaluated with regard to rate of learning. When interhemispheric transfer succeeds, learning time is normal; when interhemispheric transfer fails, learning time is prolonged, becoming at least twice that of normal. Retention is also poor in those animals that exhibit prolonged learning. A normal learning curve appears to be the product of interaction between both cerebral hemispheres during learning.
半球间传递与学习速度之间呈现出明确的关系。对裂脑猫进行了多种辨别训练，并根据学习速度评估半球间传递的成功或失败。当半球间传递成功时，学习时间正常；当半球间传递失败时，学习时间延长，至少变为正常时间的两倍。在那些学习时间延长的动物中，记忆保持也很差。正常的学习曲线似乎是学习过程中两个大脑半球相互作用的产物。
