Abstract

Three experiments tested the hypothesis that visual field superiority in reaction time to verbal stimuli can be influenced by the direction of reading associated with the stimuli. Verbal reaction times were shorter for Hebrew letters that were exposed in the right rather than the left visual field, the trend being similar to that observed formerly for Arabic numerals or English letters. The effect was significant only when no knowledge about the locus of exposure was available, thus suggesting that not only cerebral dominance, but also differential attentiveness, can account for the findings.
