In a series of four experiments, normal right-handed adults engaged in dichotic listening with free-report instructions after having completed a selective listening task. The usual right-ear advantage (REA) for dichotic digit names was altered according to the ear previously monitored. Most notably, the REA was absent among subjects who had monitored the left ear. Additional experiments showed that the "priming bias" is material-specific; it did not occur if consonant-vowel nonsense syllables (CV's) were substituted for digit names in either the selective listening task or the subsequent free-report test. The findings help clarify the nature of one of the attentional mechanisms that influence auditory laterality.
在一系列四项实验中，正常的右利手成年人在完成一项选择性听力任务后，按照自由报告指令进行双耳分听。对于双耳分听数字名称时通常出现的右耳优势（REA），根据之前所监测的耳朵而发生了改变。最值得注意的是，在监测左耳的受试者中未出现右耳优势。额外的实验表明，“启动偏差”是特定于材料的；如果在选择性听力任务或随后的自由报告测试中，用辅音-元音无意义音节（CV）替代数字名称，这种偏差就不会出现。这些发现有助于阐明影响听觉偏侧性的一种注意力机制的本质。
