Student Article Analysis Routes to Remembering: the Brains Behind Superior Memory The focus of this experimental study was to determine what causes select individuals to have superior memory capabilities when compared to the others of the general population. To determine what caused this superior memory‚ the used three different methods of experimentation to test three different theories. Using these methods they tested whether superior memorizers and control subjects

How does Carruthers define the identity thesis? 1. The identity theory says that mental states are identical to brain states. The identity theory of mind holds that states and processes of the mind are identical to states and processes of the brain. 2. Carruther explores that some mental states are the causes of some physical events. However‚ the law of Science states that things which cause physical events can be none other than physical events. 3. For example‚ if a hand movement is an outcome

Question 1 Given what we know about localization of function in the human brain‚ is it scientifically legitimate to categorize people as left-brained or right-brained? Hemispheric lateralization‚ as discovered by Roger W. Sperry (1965)‚ ascribes to the specialization of one cerebral hemisphere or the other in controlling specific functions (Passer‚ Smith‚ Holt‚ Bremner‚ Sutherland & Vliek‚ 2009). In recent years‚ there appears to be a growing phenomenon in the generalization

The Impacts of Brain Drain on Developing Countries Brain drain‚ which is the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country to work abroad‚ has become one of the developing countries concern. Brain drain is also referred to as human capital flight. More and more third world science and technology educated people are heading for more prosperous countries seeking higher wages and better working conditions. This has of course serious concequences on the sending countries

g Editorial Multivariate decoding and brain reading: Introduction to the special issue a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In recent years‚ the scope of neuroimaging research has been substantially extended by multivariate decoding methodology. Decoding techniques allow us to address a number of important questions that are frequently neglected in more conventional analyses. They allow us to focus on storage of “mental content” in brain regions‚ rather than on overall levels of

Left and Right Brain Methods William Cohen (2008) discusses in his book “A Class with Drucker: The Lost lessons of the World’s Greatest Management Teacher”‚ looks at two approaches to problem solving: one is the right brain solution and the other is left brain solution. Each side processes information differently than the other even though both sides begin to solve a managerial problem with the assumption of ignorance (63). The two approaches that Cohen speaks about is the Left-Brain method that
