Abstract
40 female undergraduates performed a unimanual choice RT task, pressing either a left or right button in response to the onset of a light which illuminated the button. In a predetermined random sequence of trials, the stimulus light was either presented alone or concurrently with a monaural or binaural tone. The right response was facilitated by the tone to the right ear but inhibited by the tone to the left ear, while the left response was facilitated by the tone to the left ear, but inhibited by the tone to the right ear. RT on the binaural trials was faster than on the no-tone trials. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
