“…Of the original 90 participants, nine participants' data were excluded from analysis: two participants had missing data, five participants scored < 4 on the emotion recognition task (considered to have failed as the task contained 7 items), and two participants had scores of less than +7 on the FLANDERS (a score of +7 or greater indicates strong right handedness, Nicholls et al, 2013). The final sample of 81 participants (M = 16, F = 65) had a mean age of 22.83 (SD = 3.64).…”

“…Participants' handedness was assessed using the FLANDERS (Nicholls et al, 2013), a 10-item self-report questionnaire that asks participants whether they prefer to use their ''left" (À1), ''right" (+1) or ''either" (0) hand to perform everyday activities. Total handedness scores range from À10, indicating strong left handedness, to +10, indicating strong right handedness.…”

“…Participants were all strongly right-handed adults (Flinders Handedness Survey (FLANDERS) score M = 9.37, SD = 2.17; Nicholls, Thomas, Loetscher, & Grimshaw, 2013), and had normal or corrected vision. Participants were offered the opportunity to enter a prize draw with a one in six chance of winning a $50 gift voucher as a participation incentive.…”

“…Their ages ranged between 18 and 38 years old (M ¼23.97) and all had normal or corrected-to-normal visual acuity. Thirty-one participants were right-handed according to criterion set out in the FLANDERS handedness survey (Nicholls et al, 2013). Participants gave informed consent prior to the start of the experiment and the study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at Flinders University.…”

“…The participants' ages ranged between 17 and 19 years (M = 18.25 years), and all had normal or corrected-to-normal vision. Handedness was assessed using the FLANDERS handedness inventory (Nicholls, Thomas, Loetscher, & Grimshaw, 2013), which gives scores ranging from -10 (completely lefthanded) to +10 (completely right-handed). The present experiment included participants who were all right-handed with scores ranging between +6 and +10 (M = +9.25).…”

Clinical neglect patients overattend to stimuli on their right, whereas the general population overattend to the left (pseudoneglect). Both phenomena are affected by viewing distance, whereby the attentional biases are attenuated as the stimulus moves from near to far space. Both are also affected by stimulus length and reduce in strength, or even reverse (the crossover effect), as length decreases. To gain an insight into the cognitive/neural mechanisms that underlie the effects of viewing distance and stimulus length, in two experiments we examined the interaction between the variables. In Experiment 1 we asked university students (n = 20) to perform a horizontal landmark bisection task with lines presented at varying lengths (1.2°, 6.3°, and 18.4°of viewing angle) and distances (450 and 1,350 mm). A crossover effect and pseudoneglect were observed for the short and the long lines, respectively. An effect of viewing distance was only observed for long lines. Experiment 2 was the same, except that the lines were rotated to form vertical lines. No crossover effect was observed for the short lines, but an upward bias was observed for the long lines. Once again, an effect of viewing distance was only apparent for the long lines. These results demonstrate that the crossover effect is not a general property of short lines and is specific to the horizontal dimension. Models of crossover therefore need to incorporate processes related to left-right asymmetries. The results also demonstrate that viewing distance only affects long lines, and that this happens irrespective of orientation. A model of viewing distance is discussed that incorporates a right hemisphere mechanism specialized for an interaction between the ventral and dorsal streams.
