Abstract
⺠We examined when during ontogeny side-turning preferences arise in cuttlefish. ⺠A left-turning bias increased progressively during postembryonic development. ⺠Left-turning biases resulted from left eye use preference in a defensive context. ⺠Left visual field may be associated with rapid responses as in vertebrates. ⺠Being moderately social could explain a nearly population-level left-turning bias.
