  • Title: Imageability does not interact with visual field in lateral word recognition with oral report.
    Author: Lambert AJ, Beaumont JG.
    Journal: Brain Lang; 1983 Sep; 20(1):115-42. PubMed ID: 6626938.
    Abstract:
    Four lateral tachistoscopic experiments are reported which tested the hypothesis that the right hemisphere has a selective ability to process highly imageable words (the RH imageability hypothesis). The prediction that performance asymmetry would vary as a function of word imageability, in a lateral recognition task with oral report, was not fulfilled. Results suggested that several previously published studies which hitherto have been regarded as supporting the RH imageability hypothesis may be discounted on artifactual grounds. The implications of these findings for the overall status of the hypothesis were discussed.
