Fig. 2. Median values for the mean displacement of the track from the direct line
of approach for individual chicks. Values are shown for three reference points
in the chick's journey to the dish: distant (DIST), mid (MID) and close
(CLOSE) (see Materials and methods). Displacements to the chick's left (which
would bring the right eye to bear on the dish) are shown as positive.
Displacements to the right (which would bring the left eye to bear) are shown
as negative. These are largely confined to NOL chicks. Almost all conditions
departed significantly at all three points from an even distribution of right
and left displacement: P values for DIST, MID and CLOSE,
respectively, are: NOL, P=0.004, P=0.013, P=0.024;
SL, P=0.018, P=0.044, P=0.0001; UL,
P=0.001, P=0.002, P=0.040; STR, P=0.016,
P=0.016, P=0.066. See
Fig. 1 legend for description
of dish conditions and Materials and methods for details of chick numbers and
trials.
