Abstract
Older theories of cerebral lateralization and localization of psychological functions are too rigid and pay insufficient regard both to the forms of breakdown that result from brain injury or to the factors by which they are determined. A view of brain organization is proposed according to which the integrated activity of both hemispheres governs psychological activity, though the specific contribution of each may be at a different level of psychological function (e.g. volitional or automatic). This is illustrated by the results of two experiments which indicate that whereas active, intentional memorizing is governed principally by the dominant cerebral hemisphere, involuntary or incidental memory depends principally upon the activity of the non-dominant cerebral hemisphere.
