Things that appear on the left are better remembered

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether neurologically intact individuals demonstrate a lateralized bias in remembering mental images of recently presented novel material comprising arbitrary combinations of shape, colour, and location in a temporary memory binding paradigm. The material involved arrays of a small number of simple geometric or animal shapes, so as to make it very unlikely that there would be any difficulties in perception, thereby focusing on memory. Recall was assessed by asking participants to report stimulus features using a forced-choice task in which they selected the colour, shape, and location of each item shown in the study array. In three related experiments, we report evidence of a new phenomenon: a leftward bias when people try to remember visually presented novel information.
