Deffenbacher et al 2004 found that culprits faces were identified 12% more of the time in low anxiety conditions than in high anxiety, in addition the number of details correctly recalled also increased in low anxiety conditions, thus supporting Loftus as she also found that lo anxiety…
Complex Communication is important to understand because we need to know how each influence happens and what influences each part of the brain. Also an understanding of where each influence developed and origionated.…
The main idea of this article is primarily focused on how the brain works and function, understand memory and how your brain reacts to different situations. Also, other aspects of how researchers are finding new ways and various methods to find solutions to understand the brain better. The brain is a difficult organ to understand, researchers are doing experiments on animals to try to find ways to repair brain functions that have died. This article also talks about different testing they are doing on different parts of the brain.…
When it comes to neurocognitive disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders, reaserchers have been able to diagnose symptoms of a variety of disorders pertaining to the brain and growth development. Once knowing what the symptoms are behaviors become noticed and there becomes a reason for certain behaviors in individuals allowing different treatments for these disorders..…
The brain is an extraordinary structure intended to multi-task on a recurrent basis. Not only is it accountable for modifiable all of the body’s frequent processes, it is also accountable for coordinating all of the cognitive gathering that divide and differentiate humans from all other faction (Ehow Health, 2011). The human brain is accountable for regulating all of a human’s physical processes, including emotions, thinking, and activity.…

The human brain is a complex and sophisticated organ. Understanding the function of the brain is often limited to the understanding of the brains areas with regard to how these areas respond to stimuli or in cases of damage. Much of the understanding of the brain is rooted in observation of damaged brains and their correlation of impaired function with specific areas of damage. Modern technologies have begun to change this trend because tools such as the Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) allows scientist to observe brain function with the invasiveness of surgery. This technology has provided not just insights into neuroscience but also into psychology as brain functions can now be correlated better with behavior and heredity. One can see this insight when examining specific areas of the brain such as the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain.…
We have all wondered from time to time as to why the elderly seem to have a much greater falter-prone memory than the younger generations. From recently met people to the digits of their friend's phone number, people seem to lag behind the youth in their memory capability as they grow older. One of the reasons behind this natural phenomena is due to an increase in brain cell loss which onsets around the age of twenty years old for most people. Unlike other things, Memory isn’t a single cognitive process, and it isn’t stored in a single area of the brain. Instead, it is classified by categories which span from short-term memory, to long-term memory, to factual memory, and onto motor-skill memory such as the knowledge of how to tie your shoes or drive a car.…
Our lives partly become stressed due to our neurons, “Your brain contains about 100 billion neurons, with another billion in your spinal cord”(9). Neurons has a huge link with stress because whatever causes the stress, effects your neurons first. Have you ever tried to read a book or write a paper, while in a room full of talking people? Well if you have, you know it is hard to focus, this is, “In other word, when your environment is cluttered, the visual chaos restrict your ability to focus”(102). This links to my isearch because it can be stressful trying to get essential work done, when not having the ability to focus. If the work does get completed, it will not be the highest quality, “Clutter distracts you so you’re unable to process information as well as you would in an uncluttered, organized, and serene environment”(102). My isearch is about ways to avoid and relieve stress but this could bring a new aspect to my research, looking into the effects of stress and what can happen to someone that is stressed. When your brain is full there is no more space nor time to enjoy the moment, “Your brain is so busy trying to process all of the visual stimuli that can’t fully enjoy the moment”(103). This cold improve my isearch paper because I can learn about how someone could miss out on important moments because they are too caught up on stress. To avoid stress from your…

Pruning is a process designed to eliminate unnecessary neuronal connections to make for a faster and more efficient communication. Research done by Tang G. et al (2014), indicate that dysfunctional brain pruning might contribute to Autism Spectrum Disorders.…
“From the brain, and from the brain alone, arise our pleasure, joys, laughter, and jokes, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears. Through it, in particular, we see, hear, and distinguish the ugly from the beautiful, the bad from the good, the pleasant from the unpleasant.”(Attributed to Hippocrates, 5th century BCE, as quoted by Kandel et al., 2000, as cited in Baars and Gage, 2012).…
