Comparison of lateral differences for digit and random form recognition in Japanese and Westerners.
In this study, a cross-cultural comparison reveals differences in lateralization of hemisphere functions, Japanese students showed visual field symmetry for random shape recognition, whereas English students showed a highly significant left visual field advantage. Both groups showed better right visual field identification for numbers, and for these stimuli no differences between the groups were found.
