The lengthy persistence of priming effects in dichotic listening
Abstract:
A dichotic digits task, with selective listening instructions, was administered to 72 normal, right-handed children. The interval between monitoring one ear and monitoring the other ear was either 5 min or 1 week. Ear asymmetry depended on the order in which the ears were monitored: only children who listened first to the right ear showed a right-ear advantage. This order, or priming, effect was equally strong irrespective of the interval over which attention was switched. The results show that attentional biases may exert a strong and enduring influence on ear asymmetry.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
