    Visual half-field (VF) presentation in brain hemisphere studies is prone to position bias. Aligning answer choices vertically effectively eliminated this bias in recognizing nonverbal visual stimuli.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Visual Perception Research

    Background:

    • Assessing interhemispheric visual processing commonly involves presenting stimuli to a specific visual half-field (VF).
    • Subsequent tasks require participants to identify the presented stimulus from an array of choices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and nature of response biases in visual half-field (VF) presentation tasks.
    • To determine if stimulus presentation to different VFs influences response selection.
    • To identify methods for mitigating observed response biases.

    Main Methods:

    • Nonverbal visual stimuli (faces, random shapes) were presented to either the left or right visual half-field (VF).
    • Participants selected the presented stimulus from an answer array.

  • The arrangement of the answer array was manipulated, specifically testing horizontal versus vertical alignment.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant position response bias was observed during VF presentation.
    • Stimuli presented to the left VF led to a bias towards the left position in the answer array.
    • Stimuli presented to the right VF resulted in a bias towards the right position.
    • Vertical alignment of answer choices completely eliminated this position bias.

    Conclusions:

    • Standard visual half-field (VF) presentation methods can introduce significant position response biases.
    • These biases can confound interpretations of hemispheric processing abilities for visual stimuli.
    • Vertical arrangement of answer choices is a crucial methodological adjustment to ensure accurate assessment of visual recognition by brain hemispheres.
