Lateral asymmetry in testing long-term memory for faces.
Accuracy of recognition memory for faces initially seen in the central visual field was found to be greater 48 hours when previously seen and new faces were presented to the left visual field than when presentation was to for right visual field. It is argued that this result reflects relative specialization for the right hemisphere in storing visual patterns.
