Abstract
THE two cerebral hemispheres in man function differently; the left hemisphere has a special function in processing language material while the right hemisphere has a special function in the perception of visuospatial material1,2. It has been suggested3 that these functional differences are reflected in perceptual asymmetries favouring the visual field opposite the predominant hemisphere. As a consequence of left hemisphere specialization in processing language material, words or letters presented successively to either visual field are more readily recognized in the right visual field. Conversely, visuospatial location, a predominantly right hemisphere function, is more accurate in the left visual field4.
