Using a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, with letter vs. visuospatial decisions, left vs. right visual fields of presentation, and left vs. right response hand as the three experimental factors, the eight conditions occurred equally often and were varied systematically as blocked conditions in a pseudorandom fashion.
