HEMISPHERE FUNCTION AND IMMEDIATE MEMORY

Series of digits were directed to one hemisphere or the other using a divided visual field technique. When two series of digits were directed simultaneously to the same hemisphere immediate memory performance was better than when both series were directed to different hemispheres. No significant difference was observed between the performance of one hemisphere and the other when both the series were directed to only one hemisphere. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
