title: Spontaneous imagery scanning and hemisphere function.
abstract: Simple dot patterns were presented tachistoscopically to 18 subjects for 5 sec in free vision, followed by a 3 sec fixation field, and finally an arrow in either RVF or LVF for 180 msec. This was either pointing at one of the previous dot locations from 4, 6, or 8 cm, or else clearly not pointing at any. Reaction time was linearly related to distance. RVF presentation led to a superior performance in terms of accuracy compared to LVF presentation at 6 and 8 cm, and in terms of reaction time at 6 cm.
