Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The copy drawn by the person with unilateral brain injury shows difficulty with spatial organization, which is typically associated with damage to the right hemisphere, specifically the right parietal cortex. Choice A (right dorsolateral frontal lobe) is not associated with spatial organization deficits. Choice C (right fusiform gyrus) is associated with face recognition, not spatial organization. Choice D (left occipital lobe) is not typically associated with spatial organization deficits.
