Do ear advantage scores obtained in a consonant-vowel recall test vary with respect to the required response condition?
A dichotic test of monosyllabic CV syllables was administered three times to 56 male right handers and 50 male left handers. During each experimental session the subjects had to perform this dichotic test using a different response condition. On one occasion they were required to verbally report the perceived syllables (speak condition), on another occasion they were asked to write down the syllables they had heard (write condition), and lastly, they were asked to visually recognize the stimuli (visual condition) which were presented onto a monitor screen. The aim of the experiment was to check whether the dichotic test results differ with respect to the required response condition. It was found that ear advantage scores were not influenced by the response condition.
