Abstract

it is argued in the target article that hemispheric lateralization is advantageous when faced with conflicting choices. as decision-making processes must have been subject to a strong selection pressure, the sensitivity of response latencies could suggest a modular and hierarchical organization of behavioral execution, as was formulated by tinbergen (1951).
