Cerebral asymmetry in the strategies used in processing random line stimuli.
An experiment was designed to study the processing of hemiretinally presented random line drawings. The nature of the processing demanded by the experimental task appears to be the major factor underlying the observed asymmetries. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis which predicts that the left hemisphere will be dominant in tasks which require an analysis of the structure of a stimulus.
