Description
A paired-comparisons procedure was used to obtain
relative duration judgements of identical pairs of normal
(e.g. A vs. A) or rotated (e.g.V vs.V) letters. Each
pair of letters was presented simultaneously for a duration
of 50msec, with one letter in the LVF (left visual field,
right hemisphere), and one in the RVF (right visual field,
left hemisphere). It was hypothesized that LVF presentations
of rotated letters would have a greater apparent
duration . This was based on Hock, Kronseder, and Corcoran's
(1975) demonstration that rotated letters presented in the
LVF produce longer reaction times than RVF presentations on
a visual comparisons task. The results were that subjects' "left" vs. "right"
responses did not differ significantly for any of the
conditions. Methodological considerations were cited as a
possible reason for the failure to confirm the present
hypo thesis.
