[Lateralization of visual perception of letters during reverse masking].

Identification by healthy subjects of single letters in conditions of backward masking was studied at lateralized presentation of stimuli. Both at dichoptic and unilateral presentations, the letters are identified better if they are presented in the left visual field, i.e. addressed "directly" to the right hemisphere. It is suggested that the data obtained result from the specificity of hemispheres' cooperation under difficult conditions of visual-spatial stage of information processing.
