“…Sakhuja, Gupta, Singh and Vaid (1996) found that the left field bias was reduced in Urdu as compared to Hindi right handers as well as in left handed readers in each group. Eviatar (1997) found a reduced left field bias in native Hebrew readers as compared to native Eng-lish readers. Heath, Rouhana and Ghanem (2005), who administered the chimeric faces task to a large sample of Arabic readers in Lebanon using photographed faces from the local population, showed that a left side bias was strongest in the subgroups that had the most exposure to English.…”

When drawing familiar objects there is a bias in starting location, stroke direction, and object orientation or facing. Directional biases are also apparent in the speed and accuracy with which rightward vs. leftward facing objects are recognized and in aesthetic preference. Two different explanatory principles have been offered for directionality effects, one based on attentional/representational asymmetries arising from cerebral hemispheric specialization, and the other based on motoric factors influenced by biomechanical and/or cultural variables. These two accounts lead to differing predictions about the nature and strength of directionality effects in right vs. left-handed users and in users of left-to-right vs. right-to-left scripts. The available evidence suggests that a motoric rather than a laterality account is a more parsimonious explanation of directionality effects.

“…There has been considerable evidence supporting the idea that the left and the right hemispheres are differentially involved in the perception of emotions (Adolphs, Jansari, & Tranel, 2001; Ahern & Schwartz, 1979;Harmon-Jones, 2004;Wedding & Stalans, 1985), which is relatively consistent across different cultures (Eviatar, 1997).…”

“…English and Hebrew differ in three major ways that can affect performance asymmetries in divided visual field paradigms -in reading direction (Eviatar, 1997), in orthography/phonology relations (Eviatar, 1999;Eviatar, Ibrahim, & Ganayim, 2004), and in morphological structure (Eviatar & Ibrahim, 2007). In this paper the main focus will be the effect of morphology on hemispheric specialization in the initial stages of word recognition.…”
