Abstract

Single digits were monaurally presented in a random order to the right and left ears of hemispherectomized patients. Vocal identification time was found to be equivalent for the two ears. This result does not support the existence of a massive lateral shift of attention in these patients. It is thus unlikely that the large ear difference typically found with dichotic presentation in hemispherectomized patients is due to an asymmetrical distribution of auditory attention.
