摘要 | Chicks using their right nostril (and so with direct olfactory input to the right hemisphere), and presented simultaneously with two objects identical in visual appearance with the rearing object, and differing only in odour, chose that which smelled like the rearing object. Chicks using the left nostril chose equally readily but at random. Earlier work, using similar tests, has shown special interest of the right hemisphere in change in visual properties of familiar stimuli, suggesting that analysis of a wide range of properties of a familiar stimulus may be an important function of the right hemisphere in the chick, with consequent detection of novelty. |
