[Effect of age on the orientation of attention: effect of changing the interval between signal and stimulus].

The purpose of the experiment was to examine the effect of aging on spatial attention. One of two possible locations, horizontally arranged, was cued. The subject had to respond to the onset of a visual stimulus, wherever it appeared. The task demand was to orient attention to the stimulated location before producing a response, or to reorient it if the position is not the cued one. Younger and older adults showed the same response pattern, despite the overall slowing down of response presented by the latter.

Sex-related differences in hemispheric asymmetries in processing simple geomerical figures.

16 (8 men, 8 women) subjects were required to respond same or different to pairs of geometrical figures. Same responses were given to physical identity pairs, to analog identity pairs, and to name identity pairs. Male subjects showed a left visual-field advantage regardless of the level of processing, whereas female subjects did not show a clear-cut hemispheric asymmetry. These results were discussed in terms of different processing strategies employed by the two sexes.
