Abstract
Twenty Hebrew speaking subjects identified sets of six digits paired with environmental sounds. Comparison of their performance with those of Japanese- and English-speakers (Hatta & Dimond, 1981) showed that while there were no group differences in overall level of performance, right ear superiority effects were larger for the English- than for the Hebrew- and Japanese-speakers. The data can be interpreted as reflecting the effects of either the linguistic properties of the native language, or of the sequence of language acquisition.
