ABSTRACT

In our recent opinion paper “Laterality 2020: entering the next decade”, we highlighted trends that we thought are likely to shape laterality research in the 2020s. Our opinion paper inspired 11 commentaries by experts from several disciplines which discussed a wide range of topics complementing the 10 trends we identified in the opinion paper. In this reply, we summarize and discuss the 11 commentaries by clustering them into 3 different main topics. The topic that was covered by the largest number of commentaries was the role of comparative and evolutionary approaches in laterality research. Moreover, several comments focused on the ontogenesis of hemispheric asymmetries and the importance of reliability and validity in laterality research. Embracing the technical advances, research trends and controversies laid out in the commentaries will significantly improve our understanding of several of the core questions of laterality research.

摘要

在我们最近的意见论文“横向 2020：进入下一个十年”中，我们强调了我们认为可能会影响 2020 年代横向研究的趋势。我们的意见书激发了来自多个学科的专家的 11 篇评论，这些评论讨论了广泛的主题，补充了我们在意见书中确定的 10 个趋势。在此回复中，我们将 11 条评论归为 3 个不同的主题，对其进行了总结和讨论。评论数量最多的主题是比较和进化方法在偏侧性研究中的作用。此外，一些评论集中在半球不对称的个体发生以及侧向研究中信度和效度的重要性。拥抱技术进步，
