A series of studies have reported that responding is faster when letter pairs to be matched are projected to two hemispheres rather than one. Four experiments described here tested this bilateral field advantage and identified factors that influence its extent. Subjects were shown letter pairs drawn from the ensemble “AaBb”, and classified the letter pairs as “Match” if the letters had the same name (regardless of case) and “No Match” if they did not. In the first two experiments the letter pairs were presented unilaterally (both letters in one visual field), bilaterally (one letter in each visual field, or centrally (both letters on the vertical midline, above and below fixation), in order to investigate how the bilateral field advantage is influenced by screen location.The third experiment added a bilateral-diagonal position (to check for artefacts related to horizontal scanning strategies), and the fourth experiment added distractor digits (to equate initial processing demands in the bilateral and unilateral conditions).Results indicate that the bilateral field advantage is a robust phenomenon, although several manipulations reduced its magnitude. Implications of these findings for models of hemispheric collaboration and interhemispheric processing are discussed.
