Spatial-temporal reasoning

doing actions. There are four sections to the cerebral cortex there is the Frontal lobe that is responsible for reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. Then there is the Parietal lobe, that is responsible for movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli, Then the Occipital lobe that is responsible for visual processing, and the Temporal lobe is responsible for perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech. The cerebrum…

Some areas of the brain include the frontal cortex, motor cortex (both front and back areas), temporal lobe, the auditory cortex, and also includes the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Due to the demanding tasks that playing music has on the body, enhancement in intellect can be proven when a child plays an instrument after a year. The Portland…

Shaw also tested his theory on children as well. He took a group of preschool aged children and had them take six months of piano keyboard lessons. According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine when the children were given “spatial-temporal reasoning tests calibrated for their age” their performance was “more than thirty percent better than that of children given computer lessons for six months or no extra training.” The early stages of a child’s life are the most important. This…

1. Distinguish between afferent and efferent nerves. Afferent nerves are the sensory nerves. They carry information from the world to the brain and spinal cord. Efferent nerves are the motor nerves they carry information out of the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body. Afferent nerves take in information and efferent nerves carry out information. 2. Study Figure 2.1. What makes up the Central Nervous System (CNS)? The central nervous system is made up of the brain and…

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the correlational method as a means for examining the relationship between functions of the left and right hemispheres. I will compare the performance of people with intact brains with the performance of so-called split-brain patients. In many ways, the brains of these two groups are very similar. 1 a. For example, the brainstem exists at the base of the brain connecting the brain and spinal cord and has no functional differences between an intact and…

condition known as autotopagnosia. Damage to the occipital lobe will affect the perception of size, color, and shapes, and may also cause visual distortions. Occipital injury may also affect the ability to recognize and interpret familiar objects. Temporal lobe damage will affect hearing, language, the ability to recognize faces known as prosopagnosia, and the processing of sensory information. Damage to the cerebellum will affect movement, such as the manner in which people walk, and muscle…

they still brought “their beliefs, their superstitions and folkways and, when they were unhurried (which was quite often), they looked around and saw that, thought they felt unchanged, they were in fact changed” (42). Yap’s tendency to portray a spatial liminality was in fact a self-reflexive attention to the politics of space. Arguably, it can be said that The Story of a Mask focused on the lives of newly settled immigrants, while Wong Loo’s narrative in A Silly Little Story was that of a…

Researchers have found that music can have extremely positive effects on academic achievement in core subjects; reading, language, math, etc. In 2008 a series of essays were published; the author of these essays agreed that music is a “cross-cultural universal” (Perlovsky). Studies have found the development of creativity enhances the development of cognitive abilities and vice versa (Gouzouasis). Some sources assert that music has significant effects on the academic achievement of students of…

In what ways does music affect cognitive abilities? For many years it has been believed music has an ability to affect, develop and improve multiple cognitive abilities and brain functions. Modern forms of technology such as comprehensive brain scanning has allowed for such a theory to be tested and studied providing the information needed to understand the ways in which music affects cognitive abilities. Multiple types of sources have been gathered to develop understanding of the affect of…

(Garrett, 2011; Sternberg, 2009). The LTM storage depends largely on the ability of the STM to retain information. Particularly, STM is one of the most researched topics in cognitive psychology. Almost every process of cognition depends on STM: reasoning, problem solving, and learning…
