尽管有人试图将人类的左半球-语言联系归纳为动物交流，但这场争论仍然存在。需要对灵长类动物进行更多的研究，以探索声音特异性和熟悉性的潜在影响。熟悉的和不熟悉的非人灵长类动物接触呼叫，鸟的叫声和非生物的声音广播给日本猕猴。当听到同种或熟悉的灵长类动物支持半球专业化时，猕猴优先将头转向左（右半球）。我们的研究结果支持经验在大脑组织中的作用，以及社会因素对理解侧化进化的重要性。(C)2009 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
Despite attempts to generalise the left hemisphere-speech association of humans to animal communication, the debate remains open. More studies on primates are needed to explore the potential effects of sound specificity and familiarity. Familiar and non-familiar nonhuman primate contact calls, bird calls and non-biological sounds were broadcast to Japanese macaques. Macaques turned their heads preferentially towards the left (right hemisphere) when hearing conspecific or familiar primates supporting hemispheric specialisation. Our results support the role of experience in brain organisation and the importance of social factors to understand laterality evolution. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
