Temporal and structural features of infant calls in relation to caregiving behaviour in common marmosets, Callithrix j. jacchus.

abstract：:Specialization of the left and right hemispheres to control behavioural responses may represent one of the mechanisms underlying individual differences in personality structure, as well as the preferential use of one hand. The present study investigated the relationship between personality and hand preference in commo...
