Abstract

Hemispheric specialization was used to study letter detection. Better detection of letters in words than nonwords was found only in the right hemifield, both for horizontal (Experiment I) and vertical arrays (Experiment II). These results indicate that the present variant of the word-superiority effect has a verbal locus (left hemisphere) rather than a visual-spatial locus (right hemisphere). © 1975, The Psychonomic Society, Inc..
