Recognition of upright and inverted faces presented in the left and right visual fields.
Pictures of upright and inverted faces were unilaterally presented in either the left or right visual field. Subsequent recognition performance was found to be superior for faces falling in the left visual field regardless of orientation. The results are discussed in relation to Yin's (1970) ideas concerning a face-specific recognition system located in the right hemisphere.
