Judgment
of successive order of click and flash stimuli by motor and verbal
responses and its relation to laterality difference
N. Sakano |
Judgements
of the first stimulus in successive order of click and flash stimuli
were investigated by connecting them with either verbal or motor
response. Click was presented to either the right or the left ear
and flash to either the right or the left visual field of both eyes.
In right-handed group (12 subjects), when two stimuli were projected
to the left hemisphere, number of correct judgement was higher if
the first stimulus was connected with motor response than with verbal
response. In both right and latent left-handed (8 subjects) groups
correct judgement was higher when the second stimulus connected with
motor response was projected to the right than when to~ the left
hemisphere, When flash came earlier than click, correct judgement
of the first stimulus flash was higher in right than in left group,
In both groups click was more easily connected with motor than with
verbal response. The results were discussed in relation to laterality
difference and compatibility between S and R. It was suggested that
in time judgement of click stimulus the first signal system is more
predominating than the second system and that in time judgement of
flash stimulus the second signal - system is more predominating.
Results in right group were interpreted in terms of the second signal.
predominance and the left group, the first signal predominance.
