Lateral asymmetry in testing long-term memory for faces. 1979

B Jones

Accuracy of recognition memory for faces initially seen in the central visual field was found to be greater 48 hours when previously seen and new faces were presented to the left visual field than when presentation was to for right visual field. It is argued that this result reflects relative specialization for the right hemisphere in storing visual patterns.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008568 Memory Complex mental function having four distinct phases: (1) memorizing or learning, (2) retention, (3) recall, and (4) recognition. Clinically, it is usually subdivided into immediate, recent, and remote memory.

D011939 Mental Recall The process whereby a representation of past experience is elicited. Recall, Mental
D012153 Retention, Psychology The persistence to perform a learned behavior (facts or experiences) after an interval has elapsed in which there has been no performance or practice of the behavior. Psychological Retention,Retention (Psychology),Psychology Retention,Retention, Psychological
