The preference for using the right or left hand for different uni-manual tasks is known as handedness. Handedness as functional asymmetry has a correlation with the asymmetric brain. Most types of tools have been developed for right-handed use, leading to different adaptations between left-handed and right-handed individuals. Visuospatial, as one of the cognitive processes, is the ability to visualize two- and or three-dimensional objects. This function allows individuals to remember, plan for the future, navigate, and make decisions, thus visuospatial is one of the primary mental aspects in humans. The aim of this study was to assess whether being left-handed was associated with visuospatial ability. Respondents in this study were 148 adult individuals who lived in Lampung Province. Handedness was assessed based on a questionnaire of self-confessed and hand preference of 10 daily activities. Hand grip performance was measured by using a hand dynamometer. The ability of visuospatial was assessed by using the Right-Left Discrimination method. The results of the visuospatial ability test showed that left-handed individuals had a better average score of visuospatial than right-handed ones (44.00 > 40.86). Males had better visuospatial ability than females (estimate = -0.0768; p-value: 0.0481). The influence of handedness on visuospatial ability was discussed
The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia may affect changes in the daily behavior of the Timor deer in the Deer Captivity at the Grand Forest Park, Wan Abdul Rachman. The purpose of this study was to determine the daily behavior of the Timor deer (Cervus timorensis) during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Wan Abdul Rachman (WAR) Forest Park Deer Captivity (Tahura). The objects used are 4 male and female Timor deer. This study uses the Scan Sampling method with an interval of 10 minutes and starts from 08.00 - 17.00 WIB. Based on observations of the behavior of the Timor deer in captivity of the Tahura WAR Deer, it can be concluded that the most common behaviors are resting behavior (54.42%), eating behavior (34.95%), shifting behavior (6.37%), other behavior (2 ,6%), sleeping behavior (1,28%), self-playing behavior (0.79%) and social behavior (0.37%). During the COVID-19 pandemic (in 2021) there was an increase in the percentage of resting behavior (54.42%), sleeping (1.28%), social (0.37%), playing alone (0.79%) and others ( 2.6%) compared to the results of research before the covid-19 pandemic (in 2018) namely resting behavior (33.1%), sleeping (0.05%), social (0.26%), playing alone (0.6%) 1%) and others (2.45%). Meanwhile, the results of observations of the daily behavior of the Timor deer at the Tahura WAR Deer Captivity during the covid-19 pandemic (in 2021) showed a decrease in the percentage of eating behavior (34.95%) and moving (6.37%) compared to before the covid-19 pandemic (year). 2018) with the value of eating behavior (54.05%) and shifting behavior (9.99%). The difference in daily behavior shown to Timor deer in captivity is due to a decrease in the number of visitors due to the pandemic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
