A group test of auditory lateral advantage.
It is possible to demonstrate the right-sided advantage for speech in a group. This is achieved by playing simultaneous messages over two loudspeakers rather than over headphones. The effect was shown with pre-cued report order in a small (N = 14) and a large (N = 40) group. The effect was larger for the small group. This result argued against an attentional interpretation of the advantage.
