Abstract
IN my original article1, I was concerned to juxtapose two different theories of dichotic listening. One of these is that the ears constitute two channels, only one of which can be fully analysed if items arrive at both simultaneously. The other theory, which I claimed was supported by my results, was that multiple criteria are used in the selection of items for analysis from a common, rapidly decaying auditory store. One criterion, of course, could be the ear at which the item arrived.
