Abstract
Two experiments examining differences in the processing of local versus global information as a function of visual field location are reported. Both experiments demonstrated the presence of upper versus lower visual field advantages in the processing of local versus global information, respectively. In addition, previous findings of right versus left visual field advantages in the processing of local versus global information, respectively, were partially replicated. Results are interpreted in terms of Previc’s (1990) hypothesis of functional specialization of the visual field.
