However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1. Why do so many children have problems with drawing? 2. What is Edward's theory? Explain 3. Why is the theory more of a useful analogy at this point?
