Abstract
An experiment was reported in which the manual reaction times (RT) to a verbal target stimulus, embedded in a series of dichotically presented digits, was measured in 40 dextral S s. The major finding was an asymmetry of RTs: RT to target stimuli occurring in the right ear was 132 msecs. faster than in the left ear. The magnitude of the asymmetry was almost 2.5 times faster for this complex discrimination task than that found previously in studies involving simple stimulus detection, suggesting that differential processing time is an important function of task complexity and mediational demands.
