To examine whether concurrently presenting surrounding scripts affect single Alphabet recognition, subjects compared letters which appeared in the left or the right visual field to a previously presented sample letter. Four different comparison stimuli were prepared, target letter embedded in same-type print letters, in different-type letters, in different kinds of characters, and in blank space (control). The results indicated that both RTs for letter matches and visual field differences were different depending upon the kind of letters that surrounded the target Alphabet. This finding strongly suggests that letter recognition is affected by the presence of neighbouring letters, and further that the nature of the surroundings can differentially affect cerebral hemispheric functioning.
为了研究同时呈现周围文字是否会影响单个字母识别，受试者将出现在左视野或右视野中的字母与之前呈现的样本字母进行比较。准备了四种不同的比较刺激物，目标字母嵌入同类型印刷字母、不同类型字母、不同种类字符以及空白空间（对照）中。结果表明，字母匹配的反应时间（RTs）和视野差异都因围绕目标字母的字母种类而异。这一发现有力地表明，字母识别会受到相邻字母的影响，进一步表明周围环境的性质会对大脑半球功能产生不同影响。
