An example of multitasking is taking phone calls while typing an email. Some believe that multitasking can result in time wasted due to human context switching and apparently causing more errors due to insufficient attention. Etymology The term "multitasking" originated in the computer engineering industry.[1] It refers to the

it is reliant upon specific structures “Cortical” and whether a pre-specified “particular region” of the brain may have a role in supporting cognitive functions and finally in-turn by using evidence based research within relation to the pre-frontal cortex I will conclude this assignment. In order to explain specialisation of function development of the brain‚ I will now associate functional specialisation and structural differentiation. There are particular cognitive functions and specific cortical

which our prefrontal cortex processes information.” Paul E. Dux‚ co-author of the study‚ believes that this process can become faster through proper training. The study trained seven people to perform two simple tasks‚ either separately or together‚ and conducted brain scans of the participants. The individuals multitasked poorly at first but‚ with training‚ were able to adeptly perform the tasks simultaneously. Brain scans of the participants indicate that the prefrontal cortex quickened its ability

If he would have lost his sensation on the left side of his body then the damage might have been to his right side of the sensory area of the cortex. If his personality suddenly changed then the damage would have been to his limbic system in the central core. 4.

In this assignment the writer will discuss how young people are susceptible to the severe and persistent mental illness of Schizophrenia. This mental illness is a debilitating brain disorder ‚ with onset in late adolescence and early adulthood (DSM-IV-TR‚ 2000). To get a clearer perception of this illness the author will use a case study to illustrate how this disorder is understood. John is fifteen year old youth on his second admission to hospital. John was diagnosed with early on-set of schizophrenia

Brain tumors are abnormal growth of tissue in the brain or spinal cord. This abnormal growth disrupts the normal functions of the brain. Brain tumors are categories based on where they originated and whether they are cancerous or noncancerous. They can be benign which means they do not contain cancer cells‚ they grow slowly‚ and do not spread into other tissue. The tumors can also be malignant‚ which means they contain cancer cells and spread rapidly into surrounding tissue. ("Brain Tumors") Surgery
