The effects of word orientation and imageability on visual half-field presentations with a lexical decision task.

abstract：:A classic Gestalt figure is a 4 x 4 array of items grouped by similarity into either rows or columns. We found that some people do not see rows ("row blindness"). Furthermore, row blindness correlates with difficulties processing written language--more than half of the college-age dyslexics tested were row blind. Read...
