Diagram b illustrates the process of a visual image of the word HELP by an individual who is homolateral and seriously so or of a male child of approximately six to seven years old. Both these individuals are assumed to be homolateral and undertaking a reading task. Their right brain has turned on because it is a visual function and their left brain has been switched of by their subconscious to save energy. The left brain is not functioning, therefore the right eye is notfunctioning and the visual image from the right of centre which is received by the left retina of the left eye is not processed in the brain because the left brain has switched off. Therefore the final result of visual recognition is half the word - theleft half HE. As this child of seven grows his peripheral vision will increase and he may be able to increase his vision from 2 to 3 to 3 and a half letters by his teenage years. This is still less than the visual spread of someone who has integrated correctly early in life.
