In order to test the effects of splitting the left and right brain‚ researchers created three experiments. The first experiment was created to test visual abilities by transmitting an image of a word‚ picture‚ or parts of a word to only one side of the brain. The second method tested touch; they allowed a participant to touch an object‚ like a block letter‚ without seeing it. The last method tested auditory abilities and consisted of limiting a participant’s response by being told directions.The

Explain how biological factors may affect one cognitive process Memory is essential to human beings. It’s not only the brain’s main function‚ but is also used everyday without us noticing: we acquire new information‚ store it‚ retain it and might retrieve it if needed. It’s thanks to memory and its three main stages: encoding‚ storage and retrieval‚ that humans can operate and recall events and information on a daily basis with no difficulty or effort whatsoever. In 1960‚ it was claimed that there

Brain development throughout childhood The first eight years of a child’s life are not only the most important years of a child’s life‚ but also the most rapid period of human development throughout a human life. These years are critical to the emotional and physical growth of a child. By the age of four‚ half of a person’s intelligence potential has already been developed and early childhood experiences can have a lasting effect on personality‚ behavior‚ and learning. (Early‚ 2001) These first

brain‚ and consists of a collection of nerve cells bodies made up from gray matter. The brain is divided into two hemispheres‚ and in order for communication to take place between each hemisphere the neurons talk to each other‚ and that’s called corpus callosum. A cool fact about a human cerebral cortex is that it’s larger than any animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes that also have the specific and different functions to each lobe‚ but they also have to all work together. The four

Twenty Parts of the Brain and Their Functions 1. Pons A structure of the brain stem that is involved in sleeping‚ waking‚ and dreaming. 2. Medulla A structure of the brain stem that is responsible for automatic bodily functions‚ such as breathing and heart rate. 3. Reticular Activating System The RAS screens incoming information and arouses the cortex when something happens that requires their attention. 4. Cerebellum The cerebellum functions as a "lesser brain" It contributes

There was no other cure for people who suffered from a special kind of epilepsy other than cutting off the connection‚ corpus callosum‚ between the two hemispheres. The studies demonstrated that the left and right hemispheres are specialized in different
