| There are two serious problems with this statement. In the first place, all we are told is that Kimura and Archibald´s patients had right-hemisphere damage with no hemiplegia. In these cases it is crucial to state WHERE in the right hemisphere. For all we know, these three patients could have had postrolandic involvement, in which case the purported counterevidence collapses. Geschwind (1975) commented on right-hemisphere sympathetic apraxia. He wrote, such cases are rare; in most instances the area of destruction is large enough to affect the actual precentral motor regions on the right, and the resulting left-sided paralysis makes it impossible to assess the presence of apraxia. |
