“…In principle this resembles the results of the present study in which the initial transfer occurs from the left hemisphere, which is dominant for visual object features, to the right. Since in pigeons, IOT of intensity and color information has been shown to occur (Francesconi et al, 1982;Watanabe et al, 1986) and since the left hemisphere is involved in color-as well as in brightnessdiscrimination tasks, we assume that the data would apply equally if the pigeons in this study would have used brightness instead of color of the stimuli. As findings from the present and other studies show, there appears to be a gradient in the occurrence of interhemispheric transfer from zero to almost perfect.…”
