Ever since Broca's century-old discovery of cerebral asymmetries in language functions,
there has been speculation about the developmental emergence of human perceptual …

The hemispheric lateralization of certain faculties in the human brain has long been held to
be beneficial for functioning. However, quantitative relationships between the degree of …

The first evidence of lateralization of visual function in a non-human species came from a
study of the domestic chick (Rogers and Anson, 1979). At the time it was reported, it was met …

Split-brain monkeys learned several sets of visual discriminations with each hemisphere.
Some stimuli, such as photographs of monkey's faces, were intended to favor mechanisms …

Brain and behavioural lateralization at the population level has been recently hypothesized
to have evolved under social selective pressures as a strategy to optimize coordination …

Thirty adult males identified consonant-vowel-consonant nonword trigrams projected briefly
to the left visual field (right hemisphere), the right visual field (left hemisphere) or to both …

The left-hemisphere dominance for language is a core example of the functional
specialization of the cerebral hemispheres. The degree of left-hemisphere dominance for …

Although cerebral dominance, the specialization of each side of the brain for different
functions, was discovered in the 1860s, almost nothing was known for many years about its …

Any tachistoscopic study of cerebral hemisphere asymmetry imposes a variety of task
demands on the participants, ranging from demands imposed by specific viewing conditions …

Chicks (4 or 5 days old), which are able to use either eye freely, use the right eye (RE)
preferentially in approach to a food dish when a lid, which has to be removed, is visible …
