Consider me very skeptical on most of these accounts
This is what it is written in the book
"Who's in charge " by Michael Cazzaniga
Unless mr Gazzaniga is a charlatan
But I read similar things also in other books
Also the book was attached to the italian version of " American Science " magazine

Coming to your questions
The right brain is a good "perceptor" but a poor "interpreter"
The left brain is good "interpreter" but a poor " perceptor "

If the subjetc gets inputs only via the left body then he behaves like a child viceversa he can provides wrong but somehow logic answers to simple questions
The reason being that the left brain is smart but his perceptions are confused
In the book there many examples
