A comparison of DWBA and CCBA calculations reveals the sensitivity of this reaction to details of the collectivity of both the target and residual nuclei. Spectroscopic strengths extracted from the DWBA analysis are in good agreement with the predictions of the Wildenthal 'USD' interaction. Inelastic

The subjects' task was to position correctly the letters on a recall sheet. No significant hemispheric asymmetries emerged, a result that reflects other negative findings. The 10 females were significantly better at verbal identification; this was congruent with the literature. The 10 males and 10 females were equal in visuo-spatial (positioning) judgments; this did not support the literature. The 5 right-handed males were significantly inferior to the 5 left-handed males and the 10 females at positioning judgments, a result that remained unexplained. The findings were discussed in terms of other contradictory findings.

Subjective guesses were more accurate for visuo-spatial positional recognition made to presentations in the right hemisphere whereas verbal recognition was more accurate to presentations in the left hemisphere. The 30-msec. exposure increased the accuracy of the guesses. These findings were discussed in terms of differential triggering mechanisms for levels of hemispheric processing.

Separate to this state of affairs Eysenck (1963, 1970) has demonstrated that extraverts prefer and adapt to a higher degree of stimulation than introverts. Thus, it is suggested that the out going extravert processes information in the quicker holistic or impressionistic manner whereas the more cautious introvert processes information in the slower analytic manner. If this is the case, it is not unreasonable to hypothesise that extraverts and introverts may be differentiated with respect to the hemispheric asymmetries outlined above; a general hypothesis being that, in a test of hemispheric information processing, extraverts would process information in the left visual field (RH) more readily than information in the right visual field (LH) whereas introverts would give the converse performance. The purpose of this experiment was to initiate an investigation of this proposal.
