Abstract
Linear length discrimination and susceptibility to the Mueller-Lyer illusion were assessed in normals and unilateral brain-damaged patients. Right brain-damaged patients with visual field defects were found impaired in linear length discrimination. Left brain-damaged patients showed a reduced susceptibility to the illusion. The correction of the Mueller-Lyer scores brought about by the scores of a test of oral comprehension was not significant. These findings are discussed in relation to the theory according to which hemispheric asymmetry in perception could be explained in terms of analytic vs. wholistic processing of patterns.
