Visual field differences between a fricative and a stop consonant.
Right-handed subjects who responded to a stop consonant letter, B, in a go-no go reaction time task evidenced a greater right visual field effect than did those who responded to a fricative consonant letter, C. The result was analogous to findings from auditory laterality studies and suggested a common type of left hemisphere specialization in the auditory and visual systems for information processing.
