Left-handedness

experiment they recruited fifty schizophrenia patients at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal, QC, Canada, and matched them with 23 healthy control patients based on age, sex, handedness, and level of education. All the participants were evaluated with the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (Oldfield, 1971), the Hollingshead two-factor index social position (Hollinshead, 1965), and either the SCID-I to depict between the patients with a disorder and the healthy controls. A…

brain is divided in two sides, left and right. Lateralization is the process that divides the brain functions in two hemispheres; language, logic, analysis, math in the left side and intuition, creativity, art/music, spatial perception to the right side of the brain but this can be determinate by interaction of genes and experiences. The hippocampus that is involved in the transfer of information to long term memory and the handedness which define the right or left hand trendy also occur at this…

dictator through successfully stroking powerful ethno-nationalism ideological policy to remain popular and relevant while reviving the economy from a crisis after a great national defeat and directing attention to co-nationals who have been severely left out of the borders as a consequence of a previous war (Cadier and Margot…

Congenital abnormalities and pathologies are some of the most fascinating diagnostically. Situs inversus, a condition in which the organs of the body are flipped to face the other side, is one of the most enthralling to behold. Typically occurring genetically, it is extremely rare, occurring only in 0.01% of the population (Nall, 2014). This congenital abnormality can be demonstrated on not only diagnostic radiography, but also computed tomography and ultrasound. The prognosis for patients…

A surprising poll by the Pew Research Center reveals that the fifty percent of the public agrees that being homosexual is either a lifestyle or is a result of upbringing. But despite what they may believe, there is mounting evidence in favor of sexuality being determined preceding birth. This evidence will put an end to the myth that one can alter or affect another’s sexuality, which is a futile attempt. In addition, this could potentially end the stigma around being a sexuality other than…

are not clear, but some suggest that it arose more than 200 years ago from the intermixing of local sign languages and French Sign Language (LSF, or Langue des Signes Française).” Furthermore, fingerspelling is only done with one hand your right or left, whichever extremity is your dominant, it should be used, but never to be changed. Have you had a friend that their dominant hand is the same as yours, are you able to read the handwriting? What about someone who has the opposite hand of…

. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the role of attention in the performance of a new motor skill (cup stacking), to determine whether the level of attentional focus on the task impacted performance of the skill. The cup stacking experiment was performed under three different conditions; focused attention, response dual task, and cognitive dual task. Condition one was performed by solely focusing on completion of the task, while condition two, required the participant to respond to…

experience, while I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it; this is the perfect example of how to use music in film. Christopher Nolan is quite well known for having mostly good scripts that occasionally take a nosedive into heavy handedness and occasionally just really bad dialogue. Whether it's Cobb's wife being named Mal, which is latin for bad or evil. Some of interstellar's dialogue being far too on the nose and some of Batman's dialogue coming right out of a Pete Holmes…

team aimed to investigate episodic memory (Rossi, 2006, pg. 1). Episodic memory involves the encoding and retrieval of unique events associated with the context in which the events occurred. The researchers primary focus was to stimulate either the left or right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC); both hemispheres responsible for a different aspect of episodic memory. During the experiment each of the two prefrontal hemispheres were targeted separately during each trial (Rossi, 2006, pg. 1).…

Whisking Margaret’s unconscious body into my arms, I steadily began to inch my way towards the back door in escape. However, the task was daunting. Traveling to Margaret alone was one thing; although, traveling back, amidst the intensifying search of spiritual thieves, with a comatose woman’s arms dangling amongst the floor, and having to ensure that one did not accidently bump into a chair, thus calling all attention to ourselves, made the situation a bit more problematic. Nevertheless, I…
