Visual and Verbal Processes in Right-Left Confusion: Psychometric and Experimental Approaches

Errors in discriminating right from left, termed right-left confusion, reflect a failure in translating visuospatial perceptions into verbal representation of right or left (i.e., visuo-verbal process). There may also be verbo-visual process, where verbal cues are translated into visual representati...
