The discovery of lateralization in domestic chicks was part of the first evidence showing that humans are not unique in this respect. The effects on cognitive ability of sensory stimulation in critical stages of development have implications for the welfare of chicks, as well as other species. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Animal Sentience: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Animal Feeling, 2(17-3), p. 1-3 | Publisher: | WellBeing International | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 2377-7478 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060801 Animal Behaviour | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 310901 Animal behaviour | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970106 Expanding Knowledge in the Biological Sciences | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 280102 Expanding knowledge in the biological sciences | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
