Title Side Bias: A Neuropsychological Perspective Type Book Whole
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal (down)
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The beginnings of the idea about a book on “side bias” began in the year

1994 during the senior editor“s research association with late Professor M.P.

Bryden and colleagues at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Over many

discussions with Professor Bryden, it was clear that the concept of ”side bias"

encompasses all aspects of motor behaviour within the context of human

(and non-human animal) laterality. The tendency to favour one side or limb

over the other is important not only from the perspective of understanding

the functional asymmetries of the cerebral hemispheres, but also to an

understanding of a myriad of aspects of human behaviour, as the

contributions to this volume will attest.

By side bias, most people would think of bias in terms of hand

preference or performance. The phenomenon of side bias, however, is more

general and influences motor behaviour of all kinds, ranging from simple

hand movement to complex behaviours like facial expression and attention.

Therefore, the concept has been operationalized in terms of bias reflected in

the motor expression of paired (such as hands, feet, eyes, or ears) or

nonpaired organs (such as the face) as a function of preference, performance

or attentional/intentional factors. ....

Title Social Awareness in Monkeys Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Amer. Zool. Abbreviated Journal (down)
Volume 40 Issue 6 Pages 902-909
Keywords
Abstract Tests of self-awareness in nonhuman primates have to date been concerned almost entirely with the recognition of an animal's reflection in a mirror. By contrast, we know much less about non-human primates' perception of their place within a social network, or of their understanding of themselves as individuals with unique sets of social relationships. Here we review evidence that monkeys who fail the mirror test may nonetheless behave as if they recognize themselves as distinct individuals, each of whom occupies a unique place in society and has a specific set of relations with others. A free-ranging vervet monkey, baboon, or macaque recognizes other members of his group as individuals. He also recognizes matrilineal kin groups, linear dominance rank orders, and behaves as if he recognizes his own unique place within them. This sense of “social self” in monkeys, however, is markedly different from self-awareness in humans. Although monkeys may behave in ways that accurately place themselves within a social network, they are unaware of the knowledge that allows them to do so: they do not know what they know, cannot reflect on what they know, and cannot become the object of their own attention.

Title Configurational coding, familiarity and the right hemisphere advantage for face recognition in sheep Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Neuropsychologia Abbreviated Journal (down)
Volume 38 Issue 4 Pages 475-483
Keywords Asymmetry; Hemispheric lateralisation; Chimeric; Face processing; Expertise; Internal features
Abstract This study examined characteristics of visual recognition of familiar and unfamiliar faces in sheep using a 2-way discrimination task. Of particular interest were effects of lateralisation and the differential use of internal (configurational) vs external features of the stimuli. Animals were trained in a Y-maze to identify target faces from pairs, both of which were familiar (same flock as the subjects) or both of which were unfamiliar (different flock). Having been trained to identify the rewarded face a series of stimuli were presented to the sheep, designed to test for the use of each visual hemifield in the discriminations and the use of internal and external facial cues. The first experiment showed that there was a left visual hemifield (LVF) advantage in the identification of [`]hemifaces', and [`]mirrored hemifaces' and [`]chimeric' faces and that this effect was strongest with familiar faces. This represents the first evidence for visual field bias outside the primate literature. Results from the second experiment showed that, whilst both familiar and unfamiliar faces could be identified by the external features alone, only the familiar faces could be recognised by the internal features alone. Overall the results suggest separate recognition methods for socially familiar and unfamiliar faces, with the former being coded more by internal, configurational cues and showing a lateral bias to the left visual field.

Title Stimulus enhancement in greylag geese: socially mediated learning of an operant task Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Animal Behaviour Abbreviated Journal (down)
Volume 59 Issue 6 Pages 1119-1125
Keywords
Abstract We recently observed the spreading of a novel tradition in a flock of semiferal greylag geese, Anser anser: an increasing number of individuals began to bite and chew the stems of butterbur, Petasites hybridus. Because this behaviour spread particularly fast within families, social learning seemed to be involved. We therefore designed an experiment with hand-reared goslings, which were socially imprinted on humans, to investigate whether and how the observation of an experienced tutor affects the acquisition of a novel skill. Goslings had to open the gliding lid of a box to get at a food reward. To each of seven hand-reared observers a human tutor demonstrated where and how to open the lid, whereas seven controls remained untutored. All observers learned to perform the task but only one of the controls succeeded. The observers explored more often at the position shown by the tutor than elsewhere and seemingly learned by trial and error. In contrast, control birds explored primarily at positions that did not allow them to open the box. These results indicate that in greylag goslings the observation of an experienced model facilitates the learning of an operant task. We conclude that stimulus enhancement followed by operant conditioning were the mechanisms involved, which may have accounted for the fast spread of the stem-chewing tradition between family members.
