Three experiments employing outline face and bug stimuli were reported. Subjects either attended to the spatial relationships between and otherwise independent of the individual feature elements (holistic processing condition) or instead attended (with the same stimuli) to the shape of certain discrete feature elements (analytic condition). They were timed in performing discriminatory manual responses to laterally presented targets and nontargets. A left visual field superiority generally occurred under conditions of holistic processing both for faces and bugs and a right field superiority when analytic processing was required; effects were more apparent in the 2nd of a pair of sequential tasks, when the more difficult of the 2 tasks came first, for the more difficult of the 2 tasks, and with target rather than, nontarget stimuli. Those aspects of a stimulus to which a subject is set to attend can determine lateral asymmetries, as well as the actual stimuli themselves. An analytic/holistic processing distinction is supported, rather than one based on verbal/visuospatial processing. Task difficulty and order are important variables to be controlled and studied in this context in future research.
