It has been proposed that asymmetry in the inner ear underlies various manifestations of brain-behaviour asymmetry in the human. Specifically, Previc (1991) argued that an otolith imbalance manifests itself in an asymmetrical head posture, and later (1994) suggested that head tilt may be consonant with other measures of human laterality. The present study tested the reliability of head tilt across days and assessed its relationship with handedness, footedness, and eyedness. As in Previc's earlier studies, a majority of our subjects tilted rightward. Head tilt proved to be highly stable across days but was not correlated with the other laterality measures. These findings suggest that head tilt may reflect an underlying asymmetric substrate that appears not to be directly related to other measures of cerebral hemispheric dominance. |
