Abstract
16 hydrocephalic and 16 age matched normal children were required to match shapes felt by one hand with similar shapes presented to the same or the different hand. Overall ability on this task was much lower for the hydrocephalic subjects. This shows that the difficulty in processing spatial information which occurs in hydrocephalus in the visual modality is also present in the tactile modality. In addition, the hydrocephalic group had greater difficulty with “crossed” than “uncrossed” matches. This suggests a partial “split brain” effect in hydrocephalus as might be predicted from pathological reports of stretching of the corpus callosum in this condition.
