Effects of sex, age and posture on the strength and direction of lateralized behaviour

  • Sex → An effect of sex was found on the direction of lateralized behaviour for the motor pattern “self-groom”, in which males used their left limb more often than females (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 18.5; P = 0.025).
  • Age and posture → No significant effects of age or posture were found neither on the strength nor on the direction of lateralized behaviour.
