Abstract
When single letters, which could be perfectly recognized when presented alone, were embedded in an overlapping masking stimulus, observers recognized more letters from the left than from the right visual field. This left visual field-right hemisphere advantage persisted over short time intervals between the letter and the mask, regardless of which stimulus occurred first. Such results suggest that the right cerebral hemisphere is more efficient than the left at extracting relevant visual features of letters when the letters are perceptually degraded, even though letters are highly associated with language and, therefore, readily processed along verbal-analytic dimensions.
