摘要
Two experiments explored the effects of speed, accuracy, on speed and accuracy instructions on visual field advantages to lexical decisions in males and females. In Experiment 1, right visual field advantages in reaction time appeared in the groups of males in the accuracy condition and in the speed and accuracy condition. In Experiment 2, feedback consistent with the instructions was given to subjects. Females and males in the accuracy condition showed a right visual field advantage in the second block of trials. These findings suggest that cognitive variables mediate right visual field advantages to lexical decisions in males and females.
