Popis: In recognition of the ecological importance of processing the talking face and its potential role in the development of right hemisphere specialization for face processing, descriptive studies examined the effects of concurrent speech on hemispheric lateralization for face recognition. To explore the potentially special nature of the face-speech concurrence, the effect of speech on inverted face recognition was also examined. Separate groups of right-handed participants took part in each of 4 studies. In Study 1, participants were asked to identify which of 4 male faces was presented in tachistoscopic fashion via computer. Correct recognition of faces was significantly faster in the left visual field (LVF) than in the right visual field (RVF), and the majority of participants exhibited a LVF processing-speed advantage (ADV). However, those participants whose responses to faces were faster in the RVF (RVF ADV) were more accurate at recognizing faces. In Study 2, a spoken word was incidentally presented sim...
