Dichotic listening (tba)
Need to add a critical commentary on dichotic listening experiments. Why are these studies still so often cited? From my review of the literature most of them are fatally flawed by too many confounds, especially in their assumptions regarding what consititutes linguistic (or “verbal”) vs. non-verbal stimuli. But see Kimura’s (1967) comments, p. 167, acknowledging the difficulty of determining “what verbal activity consists in”.
