Superiority of the Left Cerebral Hemisphere in Word Recognition with Nonverbal Central Fixation

Abstract

The right visual-field advantage for bilateral presentation put forward by McKeever and Huling was investigated. The central-fixation task was varied so that in one condition this task was nonverbal. Results gave some support for scanning-type explanations in this paradigm but over-all favoured Kinsbourne's activation-and-priming account.
