68 right-handed and 22 left-handed Ss identified series of 3, 4, and 5 dichotic digit pairs. Negative correlations between the 2 measures were obtained for all conditions by Ss in both groups. While corroborating previous findings, the data could not be interpreted as supporting either the decay or the perceptual model of ear-differences in dichotic listening.
