Speed of Comprehending Submarine Fire Control Displays: Processing Information About 'Right' and 'Left': A Note on Left-Handers

Abstract

A simple word-picture verification task using the terms 'right' and 'left' was run with left-handed subjects. Unlike right-handers, these subjects showed no evidence for asymmetries between 'right' and 'left', although in all other respects their performance was comparable to right-handed subjects.
