The lateralized Stroop: A meta-analysis and its implications for models of semantic processing

摘要: The prevailing theory in the literature concerning lateralization of Stroop effects involves a speed processing account (see ). Because left hemisphere (LH) demonstrates an overall advantage relative to right (RH) on most verbal tasks, interference are hypothesized be greater LH than RH. Inspection data, however, reveals that many studies find no difference magnitude between hemispheres. Given findings within lateralized semantic priming literature, this is not surprising. A meta-analysis subset experiments was conducted determine whether or produces significantly more RH paradigm. Based number exclusionary criteria, total 19 different were included, representing potential 26 effect size estimates differential interference. using congruent conditions as baseline (d+=.06) there significant hemispheres effect. d+=.73, which significant. Likewise, effect, d+=.67, In summary, while hemispheres, each hemisphere, when examined independently, did exhibit effects. These presented light literature.
