NOTE A JOURNAL BIBLIOGRAPHY ON BEHAVIOURAL DICHOTIC LATERALITY FOR NATURAL SPEECH IN NORMAL SUBJECTS Stephen M. Williams (Psychology Department, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Northern Ireland)
In 1970 Cortex published a bibliography of dichotic listening. The present compilation is far more restricted in scope (though not in numerosity). It does not cover clinical studies, except where these have included a normal control group. It does not cover dichotic studies aimed at issues other than laterality, such as selected or divided attention, dual task performance and interference or perceptual fusion/separation. It is restricted to behavioural work and does not cover neurophysiological studies such as those with sodium amytal, computerised tomography, positron emission tomography, electroencephalograpy, regional cerebral blood flow or electrical stimulation. It does not cover work with synthetic speech, to an extent for the arbitrary reason of task-manageability. Also however such work seems to be focussed on scientific questions of phonology rather than clinical application; there are indications that some synthetic CV syllable tapes may be perceptually too difficult to be useful with brain-damaged subjects (Niccum, Rubens and Speaks, 1981 ). Finally the coverage is restricted to journal papers, mainly because of a relatively inflexible source database through which the first search was done. In the light of all these restrictions the assemblage of 134 references confirms that dichotic rather than monaural remains the preferred mode of presentation for this sort of work (Williams, 1988). Thirtysixjounals are represented, from which Cortex (30 items) and Neuropsychologia (29 items) stand out. Other important sources are Brain and Language and Dissertation Abstracts International (7 items apiece) and The Canadian Journal of Psychology and Perceptual and Motor Skills (5 items apiece). Seventy-one (53%) of the papers are collaborative. The bibliography is ordered by year of publication and alphabetically within each year. Examining the time course of publication in this area (smoothed as a three-year moving average), it rose during the early'sixties to a low plateau (1966-73) of about three papers per annum, shifted onto a higher plateau (1974-79) of five per annum and has since risen to the present rate of about eight papers per annum.
