Title: Brief Communication: VISUAL-FIELD SUPERIORITY AS A FUNCTION OF STIMULUS TYPE AND CONTENT: FURTHER EVIDENCE.
Authors: Basu, Anamitra; Mandal, Manas K.
Abstract: The present study examined visual-field advantage as a function of presentation mode (unilateral, bilateral), stimulus structure (facial, lexical), and stimulus content (emotional, neutral). The experiment was conducted in a split visual-field paradigm using a JAVA-based computer program with recognition accuracy as the dependent measure. Unilaterally, rather than bilaterally, presented stimuli were significantly better recognized. Words were significantly better recognized than faces in the right visual-field; the difference was nonsignificant in the left visual-field. Emotional content elicited left visual-field and neutral content elicited right visual-field advantages.
