A total of 8 kinds of paired stimuli were used in this study consisting of 4 kinds of combination of hirakana letters meaning a circle or a cross with a symbol designating a circle or cross, and four other kinds of combination in which letters and symbols were reversed in position. Each pair was presented tachistoscopically to the bilateral visual fields. The subjects of group A were requested to respond with the right hand when the letters or symbol presented to the RVF was a circle and to respond with the right hand when the letters or symbol presented to the LVF was a cross, the reaction time was measured. The subjects of group B were requested to respond with the right when the right-side stimulus was perceived as a cross and to respond with the left hand when the left-side stimulus was perceived as a circle. The subjects were found to respond more quickly to the stimuli paired with letters on the right side than letters on the left.
