TL;DR: Responding was faster and the number of errors lower on Bilateral presentations and the size of the bilateral advantage increased relative to RVF responding as task difficulty increased but did not change significantly relative to LVF responding.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the bilateral field advantage is a robust phenomenon, although several manipulations reduced its magnitude, and implications for models of hemispheric collaboration and interhemispheric processing are discussed.

TL;DR: In this sample age had no effect on reported life satisfaction, nor was there a difference between the institutionalized and non-institutionalized groups, however, males reported higher life satisfaction than females.
