Synopsis

Cerebral Lateralization and Cognition: Evolutionary and Developmental Investigations of Motor Biases, Volume 238, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, discusses interdisciplinary research on the influence of cerebral lateralization on cognition within an evolutionary framework. Chapters of note in this release include Evolutionary Perspectives: Visual/Motor Biases and Cognition, Manual laterality and cognition through evolution: An archeological perspective, Laterality in insects, Motor asymmetries in fish, amphibians and reptiles, Visual biases and social cognition in animals, Mother and offspring lateralized social interaction across animal species, Manual bias, personality and cognition in common marmosets and other primates, and more.

Gillian Forrester is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London’s Department of Psychological Sciences. Her research focuses on the evolution and development of cognition with a specialization in cerebral lateralization and motor biases in great apes and in neurotypical and non-neurotypical human populations.

Kristelle Hudry is a Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology and Senior Research Fellow at the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre, La Trobe University, Melbourne. Her research focuses on the natural course of development of young children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental plasticity through experience, including early intervention.

Annukka Lindell is a Senior Lecturer in Experimental Neuropsychology at La Trobe University, Melbourne, specializing in the consequences of cerebral lateralization for human perception.

William D Hopkins is a Professor of Neuroscience at Georgia State University. He has published over 330 research articles focusing on individual and phylogenetic differences in cognition and the brain of primates. Many of his research endeavours have considered the evolution and heritability of cerebral lateralization of function.
