Abstract In Serbo-Croatian, lexical decision to phonologically bivalent letter strings is slowed relative to their phonologically unique counterparts. This future was exploited to assess the linguistic capacity of the 2 hemispheres in 56 male Yugoslavian undergraduates and 56 female Yugoslavian high school seniors. Lexical decision to laterally presented words and pseudowords revealed a right visual field advantage for both males and females in words and pseudowords. However, the demands of phonological processing were not met in the same way by the 2 hemispheres, the 2 hemispheres did not respond in the same way in the 2 sexes, and the pattern of these differences was opposite for words and pseudowords.
