    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Neuropsychology
    • Human Psychology

    Background:

    • The right hemisphere is hypothesized to have a dual mode of function.
    • Hemispheric specialization influences face recognition processes.
    • Visual field presentation can reveal lateralized cognitive functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate right hemisphere function in face recognition.
    • To examine how face familiarity modulates hemispheric advantage.
    • To explore the relationship between processing strategies and hemispheric advantage.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-nine female participants performed a face recognition task.
    • Faces were tachistoscopically presented to either the left or right visual field.
    • Hemispheric advantage was measured based on recognition accuracy and response time.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects with an initial left visual field advantage showed a quadratic pattern with increasing face familiarity.
    • Subjects with an initial right visual field advantage did not exhibit significant linear or quadratic components.
    • Error rates correlated significantly with the magnitude of hemispheric advantage, irrespective of direction.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support a dual processing mode for the right hemisphere in face recognition.
    • Optimal information processing strategies and hemispheric shifts may vary with familiarity.
    • The study highlights the dynamic nature of hemispheric involvement in cognitive tasks.
