- The Behavioral and brain sciences
- 1 June 2007
In a dynamic world, mechanisms allowing prediction of future situations can provide a selective advantage. We suggest that memory systems differ in the degree of flexibility they offer for… Expand

- Medicine, Psychology
- Behavioral and Brain Sciences
- 1 April 2003
The strong predominance of right-handedness appears to be a uniquely human characteristic, whereas the left-cerebral dominance for vocalization occurs in many species, including frogs, birds, and… Expand
