Attention and spatial resolution: a theoretical and experimental study of visual search in hierarchical patterns.

abstract：:Attention is unequally distributed across the visual field. Due to greater right than left hemisphere activation for visuospatial attention, people attend slightly more to the left than the right side. As a result, people voluntarily remember visual stimuli better when it first appears in the left than the right visua...
