| Abstract | "In this special volume of Progress in Brain Research we introduce the most up-to-date research examining associations between cerebral lateralization, behavioral biases and cognition. Drawing on evidence from species as disparate as the honeybee, the Indian flying fox and the human, we consider how these linked features manifest through evolution and development. The theories, methodologies and experimental findings presented within this volume reveal the relationships between the functional dominances of the left and right hemispheres and their associated behavioral biases. We also provide convincing evidence that behavioral biases are not distinct from cognition, but rather represent foundational components of a single system that supports cognition."--Page 4 of cover. |
