title: Lateralization of perceptual closure ability.
abstract: The present study investigated lateralization of perceptual closure ability. A zero-power, partially occluded, soft contact-lens system was used to lateralize visual input. This technique has been shown to create reliable artificial visual-field deficits when used in situations offering unlimited duration of stimulus exposure. The Street Gestalt Completion Test was administered to 18 right-handed men with no history of head trauma, neurological disorders, or familial sinistrality. Using repeated-measures analyses, and controlling for age, we found no significant hemispheric advantage for either speed or accuracy of performance.
