Abstract
In a tachistoscopic recognition experiment, visual field differences were shown to depend on typeface. The majority of typefaces exhibited a right visual field superiority, but several showed a left field superiority. Further experimentation revealed that the left visual field superiorities were reliable. Laterality effects were most closely related to the dimension of printlike-to-scriptlike, with left visual field effects being obtained with scriptlike material. These results indicate that visual field differences cannot be explained in terms of verbal response requirements. Instead, they suggest that initial preprocessing is carried out more efficiently by the right hemisphere, and that this preprocessing is more important for certain types of lettering than for others.
