Monocular recognition of letters and Landolt Cs in left and right visual hemifields.

Abstract

As a replication of an experiment reported previously it was found that, with monocular viewing of letters, superiority of right over left visual field presentations are limited to the left eye. The present experiment established that the above pattern of results is to be explained in terms of an interaction of visual acuity and right superiority. Findings suggest that acuity must be considered in combination with other variables among the determinants of hemifield differences in perceptual accuracy.
