Abstract
The anatomical arrangement of the human visual system offers considerable scope for investigating functional asymmetries in hemispheric processing. In particular, because each hemisphere receives information initially from the contralateral visual hemifield, visual stimuli presented to the left of a central fixation point can be projected directly to the right hemisphere and visual stimuli presented to the right of a central fixation point can be projected directly to the left hemisphere. Numerous studies using displays of this type suggest that, for the vast majority of individuals, written words produce different patterns of performance when presented to different hemifields and these findings have inspired considerable debate about the processes available for word recognition in each hemisphere.
