In a previous study Afsari et al. (1st link) we could show a leftward bias early during visual exploration and its modulation (up or down, depending on reading direction of the native language and precise conditions) by reading text primes before. In the present follow-up, we address mechanisms of that effect. Within the group of authors, we can not agree on the relative influence of asymmetries on the level of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Essentially we discuss the full range from nature to nurture. Thus, I'm looking for arguments, ideas, and opinions. What is your view?
Best and thanks in advance, Peter

Dear Joachim And Peter, thanks a lot for the elaborate answers. I will look at all articles / podcasts. Best Peter
Dear Joachim & Peter, pigeons, reading laterality!? But yes, these are good pointers and very interesting reading material. Building on that we devised a follow-up experiment I hope to report here sometime in the future. Thanks again. Best, Peter
