  • Title: Possible effects of forced report order on tachistoscopic recognition of bilaterally presented stimuli: a response to Young and Ellis.
    Author: Levine SC, Banich MT.
    Journal: Brain Lang; 1984 Mar; 21(2):364-74. PubMed ID: 6704708.
    Abstract:
    Comparing visual field asymmetries for bilaterally presented words and corresponding line drawings, we found an RVF advantage for words and no visual field asymmetry for line drawings. We suggested that the RVF advantage previously obtained by Young, Bion, and Ellis (Brain and Language, 11, 54-65, 1980) for bilaterally presented line drawings may have resulted from a forced order of report procedure, noting that the RVF advantage was greater on trials on which subjects were forced to report in the nonpreferred right-to-left order. Young and Ellis (Brain and Language, 20, 166-171, 1983) attempt to discredit this claim and maintain their hypothesis that the RVF advantage for line drawings is attributable to better temporary storage of these stimuli by the left than the right hemisphere. In the present article, we present in greater detail our arguments for the effects of forced order to report on the perception of bilaterally presented stimuli and refute Young and Ellis's ibid. criticisms of this proposal.
