Abstract

English and Hebrew words were exposed tachistoscopically to native Hebrew readers to the left or right of fixation. English was invariably better recognized in the right visual field though right-handers showed a greater recognition differential than left-handers. No significant recognition differential was obtained using Hebrew words. However, right-handers recognized more Hebrew words in the right visual field and left-handers identified more Hebrew words in the left visual field, and this difference was significant. It is argued that directional scanning, selective attention, cerebral dominance and structural factors all influence the left-right recognition differential.
