In order to explore perceptual processes preceding visual lexical access, we compared single words reading in both visual hemifields in right or left hemisphere damaged patients. Words were tachistoscopically presented in three conditions: (1) one word in one visual hemifield, (2) two words, one in each visual hemifield aside the fovea, (3) one longer word in both visual hemifields, centred on the fovea. In many patients, suffering from right as well as left hemisphere lesions, reading remains normal for unilateral presentation whereas bilateral presentation induced extinction in the hemifield contralateral to the lesion. Nevertheless, extinction was not frequently observed for the right or the left part of long centred words. Extinction proved to be most frequent in lesions centred on the occipito-temporo-parietal area. In addition, we found visual extinction not to be related to auditory extinction in verbal dichotic listening.
