Hemispheric differences in the visual analysis of the verbal and non-verbal material in children.
Five years old children, who could not read, and the same children at the aged of 7, who already knew letters, were used as subjects. A visual procedure involved presentation of single letters or a pair of letters randomly to the left or right of a central fixation point. Reaction time and number of correct identifications, showed by pressing a key, were indicators of the perception of letters. The children of five identified the letters with equal correctness, whether they were addressed to the right or to the left hemisphere, whereas the children of seven showed left hemisphere superiority.

Interaction between two letters in visual perception.
Letters were exposed by tachistoscope for 17 ms to adult subjects. In Experiment I, single letters were exposed. The proportion of errors differed strongly for particular letters. In Experiment II pairs of letters were exposed. The first letter of a pair was recognized more easily than when exposed alone in Experiment I. In Experiment III pairs of letters were exposed but the subject's task was to recognize only one letter of the pair. Both, first and second letters of the pair were then recognized better than in Experiment I. The results were interpreted in terms of facilitatory and inhibitory effects occurring on different levels of the visual system.
