Abstract

In tachistoscopic studies requiring “same/different” judgements on pairs of stimuli, differences between unilateral and bilateral presentation have been interpreted in terms of higher level cognitive processing. However, unilateral presentation is usually confounded with vertical and bilateral presentation with horizontal arrangement of stimuli. The effect of various stimulus arrangements was examined in two experiments. The results gave no evidence for an independent effect of uni- vs bilateral presentation, but rather a strong effect of the spatial arrangement such that pairs arranged on a straight line through the fixation point yield faster reaction times than any other vertical or horizontal arrangement.
