Subjects tested in groups on a dichotic listening task had the same measure of laterality as groups of subjects tested individually. The same dichotic words tape (in Hebrew) was used for the group-tested subjects and the individually tested subjects. Since each technique produced the same laterality, researchers should be encouraged to use the group-technique because greater numbers of subjects can be tested in a smaller amount of time.
