A developmental study of the relationship between handedness and eyedness as applied to disappearing visual targets.
This study investigated differences between adult and children's perception of a disappearing, lateralized stimulus. In 20 trials, 23 first graders and 22 college students viewed a luminous target of parallel lines subtending a visual angle of 11 degrees 30' and reported whether a stimulus disappeared on either side of fixation or all at once. Both groups, regardless of handedness and eye dominance, had stronger right-field stability, therefore more left-field fragmentation.
