An influence of visual field disorders on sorting performance in the FM 100-hue test is reported. Patients with left-sided field disorders performed worse in the conventional testing direction, i.e. from left to right, compared with patients with right-sided defects. Reversing the direction of sorting led, however, to a similar impairment in patients with right-sided field defects. Observations in normals tested under different conditions of hue sorting support the view that the difference obtained cannot be accounted for by a hemisphere difference in colour processing but by the strategy adopted by subjects.
