Rapidly changing environments in day-to-day activities, enriched with stimuli competing for attention, require a cognitive control mechanism to select relevant stimuli, ignore irrelevant stimuli, and shift attention between alternative features of the environment.

In assessing reflective gaze preference, students were assigned to right-looking, left-looking, or mixed groups. Those with more clearcut preferences were shown to have superior records of athletic achievement, consistent with the model of functional cerebral space which predicts superior simultaneous task performance for more cerebrally…

A study was conducted to investigate further the dichotic outcomes in right-handers as a function of sex, ear-side, and most especially stronger attentional bias. The derived prediction was: that increased focus time on the right side would produce a striking right ear advantage (REA) in either right-handed men or women, replicating the most…
