A study of lateralized modules of visual spatial attention

Effects of attention asymmetry were studied with the help of the modified attention network test, specifically adapted to research of lateralization of visual spatial attention modules in adult subjects. The left half-field of vision, determined by the right hemispheric lateralization of the module of orientation of attention, was dominant while responding to simple stimuli. The right half-field of vision as a consequence of left hemispheric lateralization of the module of operational control of attention was prevalent while responding to 'conflict' stimuli.
