| Abstract: | Schwartz, Montagner, and Kirsner (1987 Brain and Language, 31, 301-307) claim that length X visual hemifield interactions for recognition of horizontal words reflect acuity differences for the initial letters of short and long words rather than different methods of lexical access for words presented in the LVF and in the RVF. They argue that Young and Ellis did not satisfactorily eliminate this possibility because they (Young & Ellis, 1985, Brain and Language, 24, 326-358, Experiment 3) allowed the use of sophisticated guessing strategies. We demonstrate that the presentation conditions of the Schwartz et al. (1987) experiment are different from those of our (Young & Ellis, 1985) experiments in potentially important ways, and that the acuity gradient explanation proposed by Schwartz et al. to account for word length X visual hemifield interactions is inadequate in terms of both the existing literature and a reanalysis of data from our own (Young & Ellis, 1985) Experiments 1 and 3. |
