Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus
The superior longitudinal fasciculus is a bilateral white-matter pathway that represents one of the brain's major rostro-caudal fiber pathways. In vivo imaging of the superior longitudinal fasciculus in humans with diffusion tensor imaging has led to a broad division into three major subcomponents, connecting more dorsal temporo-parietal areas with numerous (mostly lateral) prefrontal regions.

A patient undergoes a procedure that severs the thick band of nerve fibers connecting the two large, superior hemispheres of the brain. Afterward, an image of a common object is flashed exclusively to the patient's left visual field. Based on the typical functional specializations of the brain's hemispheres, which of the following outcomes is most likely?
