Male and female subjects classified tachistoscopically presented slide photographs of faces as male or female. In Experiments I and II presentation was at random to the right or left visual hemifield. Two different signal detection procedures demonstrated that accuracy for both visual fields is equivalent in females and that males show a marked right-field advantage. A third experiment showed that this field advantage is preserved for males when presentation right or left is by blocks of trials suggesting that the left hemisphere is specialized for classification tasks. Results also showed that optimization in signal detection tasks may be lateralized for both males and females though males optimize more poorly than females in the left visual field. The data are taken to demonstrate equipotentiality of hemispheric functioning in females and stronger hemispheric lateralization in males.
男性和女性受试者通过速示器对呈现的脸部幻灯片照片进行性别分类，判断是男性还是女性。在实验一和实验二中，照片随机呈现于右半视野或左半视野。两种不同的信号检测程序表明，女性在两个视野中的准确率相当，而男性则表现出明显的右视野优势。第三个实验表明，当按组块试验的方式呈现于右侧或左侧时，男性的这种视野优势依然存在，这表明左半球专门负责分类任务。结果还表明，信号检测任务中的优化在男性和女性中可能都存在偏侧化现象，不过男性在左视野中的优化程度比女性差。这些数据被用来证明女性半球功能的等势性以及男性更强的半球侧化。
