Visual field differences between a fricative and a stop consonant

D K Klisz

    Cortex; a Journal Devoted to the Study of the Nervous System and Behavior
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Right-handed individuals showed a stronger right visual field effect when identifying the stop consonant "B" compared to the fricative consonant "C." This suggests shared left hemisphere specialization for processing information in both auditory and visual systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psycholinguistics

    Background:

    • Hemispheric lateralization is crucial for efficient brain function.
    • Previous research indicates left hemisphere dominance for language processing.
    • Visual and auditory processing may share underlying neural mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate visual field effects in response to different consonant types.
    • To explore potential shared neural substrates between auditory and visual processing.
    • To examine hemispheric specialization in right-handed individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • A go-no go reaction time task was employed.
    • Participants were right-handed subjects.
    • Visual stimuli included stop consonant 'B' and fricative consonant 'C' letters.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects responding to the stop consonant 'B' exhibited a greater right visual field effect.
    • This right visual field effect was less pronounced for the fricative consonant 'C'.
    • The findings were comparable to those in auditory laterality studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The results support a common pattern of left hemisphere specialization for information processing.
    • This specialization appears to extend across both auditory and visual systems.
    • Hemispheric lateralization for consonant processing may involve shared neural pathways.
