Who Is Mrs. Cantlie and Why Are They Doing Those Terrible Things to Her Homunculi?
Griggs, Richard A.
Teaching of Psychology, v15 n2 p105-06 Apr 1988
Reports on a survey of twenty-one 1987 introductory psychology textbooks which revealed an unusually high error rate for homunculus illustrations, those drawings in which body parts are depicted in proportion to brain areas that control them. Traces the source of these errors to homunculus drawings made by Mrs. H. P. Cantlie in the Penfield and Rasmussen text (1950). (Author/GEA)
