contents A new method to assess eye dominance Fernando Valle-Inclán Manuel J. Blanco David Soto Luz Leirós Psicología People usually show a stable preference for one of their eyes whenmonocular viewing is required (‘sighting dominance’) or under dichopticstimulation conditions (‘sensory eye-dominance’). Current procedures toassess this ‘eye dominance’ are prone to error. Here we present a newmethod that provides a continuous measure of eye dominance andovercomes limitations of previous procedures. We presented dichopticstreams of randomly selected alphanumeric characters at rates around 5 Hzand asked observers to detect a particular character. In most subjects, thedichoptic streams of letters did not perceptually overlap, instead manyparticipants were never aware that two letters were always presented.Interocular differences in target detection were evident in most observers,thus targets presented to one eye were always detected while targetspresented to the other eye were generally missed. These interoculardifferences (i.e., eye dominance), were normally distributed and showedhigh test-retest reliability. 2008 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16929103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.29
