Primate Laterality: Current Behavioral Evidence of Primate by Jeannette P. Ward,William D. Hopkins

By Jeannette P. Ward,William D. Hopkins

This booklet arrays fresh learn at the neural and behavioral lateralization of the mind depending seriously on animal modes. The authors hire the comparative solution to increase our realizing of habit, in particular via hand use and "handedness" by means of drawing comparisons with experiences concerning primates. issues mentioned contain styles of Lateralized habit in Prosimians; Behavioral Lateralization in Language-Trained Chimpanzees; styles of Handedness: Comparative research of Nursery university childrens and Captive Gorillas; and Rotational habit in teenagers and Adults. it's the first e-book of its variety committed solely to the query of behavioral asymmetries in all primates and therefore offers a milestone because it acknowledges the amassing proof of asymmetry and lateralized habit within the non-human worried system.
