“…Secondly, we reduced stimulus exposure time from 100 to 10 msec, Our principal aim in doing this was to discover if the retino-cortical pathway would be a more critical variable with more nearly "minimal" stimulation (cf. White, 1969).…”

“…This left-right equivalence between fields could be a result of postexposural left-to-right scanning. White (1969) has reviewed the evidence for such a mechanism in tachistoscopic perception. It is clear that a scanning device, sweeping left to right across a visual image in both fields, would create equivalence between the same rather than mirror-image orientations in each field.…”

Three experiments are described in which Ss matched left-or right-pointing arrowheads presented simultaneously in each visual field. In the first two, they were instructed to press one button as quickly as possible if the stimuli were the same and another if they were mirror images. In the third experiment, they pressed a single button only if the stimuli were the same on half the trials and only if they were mirror images on the other half. This experiment also included a control condition using up-and down-pointing arrowheads. In all three experiments, "same" RTs were shorter than "mirror" RTs, suggesting that left-right orientation is preserved, rather than mirror-reversed, in interhemispheric matching. This result is also contrary to previous evidence that left-right symmetry is perceptually more salient than adjacent repetition of the same pattern.

“…Two sets of eight three-letter words were prepared, one set of animals and one of parts of the body. Three-letter words were chosen in order to preclude any potential scanning effects [see White (1969) for a discussion of the laterality literature oriented toward this explanation of field differences] . Studies by Coltheart and Merikle (1970), Krueger (1970), and Smith and Haviland (1972) indicate that such words are perceived as units rather than scanned from left to right.…”

Two "same-different" reaction time experiments, analogous in task demands made on the S, were designed to test laterality differences in. perception. Ten normal right-handed Ss performed a verbal task in which they decided whether or not two three-letter words belonged to the same conceptual class. Ten different Ss performed a spatial task in which they decided whether two 16-cell matrices with 3 blackened cells were identical. Reaction times were found to be sensitive to laterality differences in perception. Verbal stimuli were processed faster when presented in the right visual field, and thus projected directly to the left cerebral hemisphere; spatial stimuli were processed faster when presented in the left visual field, and thus projected directly to the right cerebral hemisphere. These results were analyzed in terms of implications regarding hemispheric asymmetries for processing of verbal and spatial material and the nature of interhemispheric transfer of information.

“…Half the words were Apparatus. A PDP-4 computer common words which occur 30 times or When a set of items is presented achistoscopically across the visual field, Ss ypically report more accurately the lements to the left of the fixation point han the elements to the right, leading everal investigators, most notably Heron 1957), to postulate a postexposural rrocess in which traces are "scanne'd" eft-to-right (see White's 1969review). 1cFarland (1970 presented three letters, me after the other, and found the uccession threshold to be lower when the uder was left-to-right than when it was ight-to-left, which suggests that analysis nd integration in form perception proceed nore rapidly in a left-to-right direction.…”
