    This study tested the dual coding model by examining how right-handed and left-handed individuals process abstract and concrete words. Right-handed subjects demonstrated superior recall for concrete words, supporting distinct information processing systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Information Processing

    Background:

    • Dual coding theory proposes two distinct information processing systems.
    • Cerebral laterality, varying between right- and left-handed individuals, may influence the localization of these systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dual coding model by comparing memory performance in right-handed and left-handed subjects.
    • To assess the impact of word concreteness on recall under different sensory interference conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Right-handed and left-handed participants learned lists of abstract and concrete words.
    • Visual and tactile interference conditions were employed during the learning process.
    • Recall performance was measured to evaluate memory retention.

    Main Results:

    • Right-handed subjects exhibited significantly better recall for highly concrete words compared to abstract words.
    • No significant differences in total word recall were observed between right-handed and left-handed groups.
    • The findings suggest a differential processing of concrete information in right-handed individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Results provide partial support for the dual coding model, particularly regarding the processing of concrete information.
    • Cerebral laterality may play a role in how individuals utilize distinct coding systems for memory.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the interplay between laterality and dual coding in memory.
