Abstract

In the domestic chick there is evidence of early de­velopment of age-dependent biases of control by the right or the left forebrain hemisphere and this was used to examine the differ­ing roles of the two hemispheres in food search. In normal search for food grains hidden under the sawdust in the test arena, with both eyes in use, the left hemisphere appears to initiate approach and to attempt to identify potential food on entirely local cues. The right hemisphere uses topographical cues to guide locomotion to the lo­cation where food has been found in the past.
