title: Hemispheric superiority in reaction time to faces: a sex difference.
abstract: In males but not females, reaction time to faces is faster when stimuli are presented to the right hemisphere than when presented to the left hemisphere. The complete lack of a hemispheric difference in females suggests that with brief exposure and immediate judgement, a lateralized mechanism specialized for faces can be activated only in males.
