Abstract
Reaction times were obtained for judgments of tilt, relative to vertical, of slanted line segments flashed in the right and left visual fields. With no visual reference axes present, RTs were faster in the right visual field. When a titled square frame was added, simulating the rod-frame configuration, RTs increased for both fields, and by a significantly greater magnitude in the RVF. Accuracy measures were comparable to those obtained conventionally with unlimited exposure times. The “no-frame” result suggests involvement of a left-hemisphere mechanism in this class of spatial judgment, and a view of interhemispheric cooperation in rod-frame performance is presented.
