Title: Cerebral Asymmetry, Interhemispheric Interaction and Handedness: Second Thoughts About Comparative Laterality Research with Nonhuman Primates, About a Theory and Some Preliminary Results
Abstract: The ultimate aim of comparative work on laterality is to contribute to an understanding of functional and structural lateral cerebral asymmetries in man and the principles underlying it. Off hand, nonhuman primates appear to be very suitable subjects for this type of research; our fellow primates are capable of learning and performing highly complex tasks, and some of the species which have been studied appear to use their brains and hands very much like humans. Nevertheless, I feel forced to conclude that in doing comparative research with nonhuman primates we have not yet made any significant contribution to the solution of the riddle of cerebral asymmetry.
